City of Glass Post 2

After reading chapters 6-9 what I found most interesting has to be the interaction of communication between Auster and Peter Stillman’s father. For example the first time they communicate with each other was in an indirect way and that being Auster reading Stillman books. The books followed what was expected, highly religious and his thoughts about the world. The significance of this information is unknown so far though later it might lead to unlocking the mystery about Stillman agenda. The second way was again intriguing in the way Auster follows Stillman around trying to find out who he really is without actually confronting him. This part of the book interested me as it shows how the characters can interact so well with each other even without meeting one and other. Finally, the last type of interaction they had was when they actually meet for the first time. This by far was the best part of the book. The interaction between the two was short, precise, and very witty. They seem to be very skeptical of each other so that they can find out who they both really are in this so-called realistic world. To sum up the point I am trying to get at is that I like how the author interaction between the characters build up the suspense of the book, but also leaves you guessing into what each characters role is in the book.
