In The Country of Last Things is an odd one, largely because it's written from the perspective of a woman, unlike all the rest of his books. Personally I wouldn't rank it as among his best, largely due to that one fact: he doesn't quite nail writing as a woman in the same way that he does his male characters. it's still decent, but if you're looking for another Auster to read, i wouldn't choose that one.
