My first Paul Auster book. He's amazing in changing the location and reading style. One chapter is written in the 2nd "You"-form. He leaves questions open and touches taboos like incest (possible love affair brother/sister). I met Paul (*1947), sitting in the first row, on January 25th at Barnes & Nobles (86th & Lex. in NY) when he was interviewed for 45 minutes and signed books afterwards. I liked his stories about his 50 year old typewriter which he still uses today! He avoids the keyboard of a PC and first handwrites his scripts. He thinks that his energy/ideas can best be written by a pen in your hand.
Some locations: New York City, Paris, San Francisco.
First published: 2009 in English language - I read the 2009 "signed" hardcover first edition from Henry Holt and Company (USA) - ISBN 978-0-8050-9080-2
