His entire genre of writing revolved around chance and coincidence and how big of a hand it played in one's life.

I was captivated after reading Leviathan and could not stop till I read his entire pantheon.

RIP Paul Auster.

Just listened to a segment about him on NPR, apparently his writing themes were greatly influenced by an experience he had as a child where he was standing next to someone who was killed by a lightning strike.
