The New York Trilogy By: Paul Auster

While reading the fist part of this book I was wondering how to tie in metafiction. While reading it came to me. Every time that you read about the character Paul Auster it makes you take a step back and realize that the character is also the name of the writer of the book. No matter what was going on in the book as soon as I read the name Paul Auster, I take a step back and think about something other than the storyline. Another thing I found interesting was the part of the story where Virginia is talking to him by the door and she kisses Auster with a very sexual kiss. It is funny that would happen to the character of Paul Auster, it might be the authors way of putting himself into a erotic point of the novel.
