Extraordinary writer Siri Hustvedt! As unique as the husband, Paul Auster ... This "auto-fiction" is the pathetic faith, sensitive and very funny. It is this sense of humor and culture of the author are the whole point of the book. Women who have been betrayed by an unfaithful husband (who wish to "pause") should read the novel. Be careful though! This is a literary work in every sense of the term, therefore a demanding work, that of a poet who does not fall into the facilities of Musso and other Gavalda.
