    • 1999 June 21, Toby Mundy, “Novel of the week: Timbuktu by Paul Auster”, in New Statesman, retrieved 27 September 2010:
      Willy's speech, like Doc's, is a rolling bricolage of cliche, literary quotation, epigram, advertising slogan and salvage from the past. To some extent, the presence in the book of a drunken logomaniac such as Willy gives Auster's prose a new exuberance.
