Why the Surface of Paul Auster's Moon Palace Is Cratered and Uneven.

At the outset, it seems Auster would like it if the hero of his story, one M.S. Fogg, had grown up without parents or any kind. His mother dies when he is nine, totally mum about who his father is. The care of M.S. falls to Uncle Victor, who, to his credit, saves the pay-off from his mother’s law-suit settlement (she died in a bus accident, a completely innocent victim.) and uses that money for his nephew’s education. M.S. Fogg grows up without a father, cared for by a loving uncle, and attends Colombia University.
