- The numerous coincidences existing in the novel make it unbelievable
- If coincidences are at the center of Paul Auster's novel, it is mainly to underline the parallel between the three main character's experiences
Résumé :
Did you find reading moon palace a moving experience or did the string of coincidences seem too unbelievable to you? Explain with references.
"I don't know who you are either, Mr Fogg, but it sounds to me as though you've created an elaborate hoax. That doesn't mean your story isn't compelling, but I think that you might have better luck publishing it if you dropped the charade and submitted it somewhere as a work of fiction" (chapter 6)
After sending Effing's obituary to the Art World Monthly magazine, M.S receives the editor's response. In his letter, he underlines the plot's inconsistencies and advices M.S not to continue his attempts to make these writings publish in the form of an obituary. By reading this sentence, I immediately thought that there was a connection between this recommendation and what paul auster wanted to express in this book. It is evident that the plot is punctuated by numerous coincidences but it might be the definition of a work of fiction.
