TIMBUKTU TOMBOUCTOU

Meet Mr Bones, the canine hero of Paul Auster's remarkable new novel, " Timbuktu ", his first work of fiction in five years. Mr Bones is the sidekick and confidant of Willy-G Christmas, the brilliant, troubled and altogether original poet-saint from Brooklyn. Like Don Quixote and Sancho Panza before them, they sally forth on a last great adventure.
