Eine Tierfabel über das Hundeleben von Vier- und Zweibeinern: Mr. Bones, ein kleiner Hund, hat sein Herrchen, den alten Penner Willy, verloren. Zusammen durchkämmten sie einst die Straßen und "unterhielten" sich über das Leben. Nun hofft der kleine Mr. Bones, sein Herrchen in "Timbuktu" wiederzutreffen. Timbuktu ist das grenzenlose Paradies, von dem Willy oft genug schwärmte. Mr. Bones macht sich auf die Suche nach diesem Ort. Doch bevor er ihn findet, muss er viele Abenteuer bestehen.
Kurzbeschreibung:
Paul Auster\'s comic and poignant Timbuktu stars an unforgettable dog who has much to teach us about our own humanity.
Klappentext:
Par. Meet Mr Bones, the canine hero of Paul Auster\'s remarkable novel. Bones is the sidekick of Willy G. Christmas, a brilliant but troubled poet-saint from Brooklyn. Together they sally forth across America to Baltimore, Maryland, on one last great adventure, searching for Willy\'s old teacher, Bea Swanson. Years have passed since Willy last saw his beloved mentor, who used to know him as William Gurevitch, son of Polish war refugees. But is Mrs Swanson still alive? And if not, what will prevent Willy from vanishing into that other world known as Timbuktu?
\'In this brilliant novel, Auster writes with economy, precision and the quirky pathos of noir, addressing the pernicious ubiquity of American consumerism, the nature of love and the core riddles of ontology. Above all, though, this is the affecting tale of a special dog\'s place in the universe of humans and in the fleeting life of a special man.\' Publishers WeeklyPar.
