Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. molto valido come libro. intrigante per il modo con cui è stato scritto. i primi 30 anni di P.A. caratterizzati dalla ricerca di esperienze utili affinche si potesse arrivare ad essere uno scrittore e solo uno scrittore. nessuna deviazione nessuna perdita di tempo solo la volontà di diventare scrittore. ma quanti sono i fallimenti quante le delusioni prima di approdare al traguardo. sbarcare il lunario parla di queste ricerche di esperienze e dei tanti fallimenti avuti prima di diventare famoso. bello la struttura del libro con tre allegati. due racconti teatrali e un racconto poliziesco, bellissimo e intrigante. vale assolutamente la pena di leggerlo. bravo bravo ( )
Even given this memoir's limited ambitions -- it is not a full-fledged autobiography but a meditation on the author's early struggles to make a living -- there is something undernourished about it. It's not just the author's flat-footed prose; it's his refusal to give us the sort of color, insight and emotional detail that might transform his narrative into something more than a series of anecdotes strung like pop beads along a theme. Mr. Auster skims over the role his conflicted feelings about his parents' divorce played in shaping his attitude toward money, and he completely ignores the role his destitution played in the breakdown of his marriage. The reader gets no real sense of Mr. Auster's relationship with his parents, his ex-wife or his son, no real understanding, for that matter, of his own personality other than that he wanted to be a writer, glamorized the idea of failure and had deeply ambivalent feelings about money. Mr. Auster's reticence on these matters seems motivated less by a conscious desire to withhold secrets than by a writerly obsession with compression and concision. Indeed many fascinating stories in this book are curiously brushed off in asides. Mr. Auster's observation that he once knew 7 of the F.B.I.'s 10 most wanted men -- this was in 1969, when student radicalism was at its height -- is tossed away in a sentence. And his encounters in Mexico with a ''man who threatened to kill me'' and a ''schizophrenic girl who thought I was a Hindu god'' are consigned to a parenthetical mention.

"This is the story of a young man's struggle to stay afloat. By turns poignant and comic, Paul Auster's memoir is essentially an autobiographical essay about money - and what it means not to have it." "From one odd job to the next, from one failed scheme to another, Auster investigates his own stubborn compulsion to make art, and describes his ingenious, often farfetched attempts to survive on next to nothing. From the streets of New York City and Paris to the rural roads of Upstate New York, the author treats us to a series of remarkable adventures and unforgettable encounters and, in several elaborate appendixes, to previously unknown work from these years. Here are three plays that contain the seeds of inspiration for some of Auster's future work, a tabletop baseball game (complete with cards and rules), and a pseudonymous detective novel - the author's first full-length novel." "Each is an example of Auster's effort to make money; each is an illustration of the artist's mind at work. The result is a book of manifold delights and discoveries, an autobiography that resembles no other."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
