Auster, indeed.

Later in the same section...
"As the book progresses, it takes on a more and more unstable character--
filled with unpredictable associations and departures, marked by increasingly
rapid shifts in tone-- until you reach a point where you feel the whole thing
begin to levitate, to rise ponderously off the ground like some gigantic
weather balloon.  By the last chapter, you've traveled so high up into the
air, you realize that you can't come down again without falling, without
being crushed."

I'm enjoying 'Leviathan'.
