Hello Everyone,
I am reading Brooklyn Folly by Paul Auster. In it, there is a sentence I can't fully understand.
He had been turned into pauper, penniless convict without a single resource or plan. Once he served his time in Joliet, he would be cast to the four winds like a fistful of confetti.
(Here he refers to Harry, a gallery owner sentenced to seven years in prison, who had been charged with creating scam paintings.)
Thanks and Regards
