Sunset Park - Paul Auster - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Sunset Park - Paul Auster - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Auster''s novel of love and forgiveness from the author of contemporary classic The New York Trilogy : ''a literary voice for the ages'' ( Guardian ) S unset Park is set in the sprawling flatlands of Florida, where twenty-eight-year-old Miles is photographing the last lingering traces of families who have abandoned their houses due to debt or foreclosure. Miles is haunted by guilt for having inadvertently caused the death of his step-brother, a situation that caused him to flee his father and step-mother in New York seven years ago.What keeps him in Florida is his relationship with a teenage high-school girl, Pilar, but when her family threatens to expose their relationship, Miles decides to protect Pilar by going back to Brooklyn, where he settles in a squat to prepare himself to face the inevitable confrontation with his father - a confrontation he has been avoiding for years.Set against the backdrop of the devastating global recession, and pulsing with the energy of Auster''s previous novel Invisible , Sunset Park is as mythic as it is contemporary, as in love with baseball as it is with literature. It is above all, a story about love and forgiveness - not only among men and women, but also between fathers and sons.

Conversations with Paul Auster - - Bog - University Press of Mississippi - Plusbog.dk

Conversations with Paul Auster - - Bog - University Press of Mississippi - Plusbog.dk

Paul Auster (b. 1947) is one of the most critically acclaimed and intensely studied authors in America today. His varied career as a novelist, poet, translator, and filmmaker has involved scholarly scrutiny from a variety of critical perspectives. The steadily rising arc of his large readership has made him something of a popular culture figure with many appearances in print interviews, as well as on television, the radio, and the internet. Auster''s best known novel may be his first, City of Glass (1985), a grim and intellectually puzzling mystery that belies its surface image as a "detective novel" and goes on to become a profound meditation on transience and mortality, the inadequacies of language, and the isolation of one person from another. Eleven more novels have followed since then, including The Music of Chance, Moon Palace, The Book of Illusions, and The Brooklyn Follies . He has, in the words of one critic, "given the phrase ''experimental fiction'' a good name" by fashioning bona fide literary works with all the rigor and intellect demanded of contemporary literature. This volume-the first of its kind for Auster-will be useful to both scholars and students for the penetrating self-analysis and the wide range of biographical information and critical commentary it contains. Conversations with Paul Auster covers all of Auster''s oeuvre, from The New York Trilogy-of which City of Glass is a component-to Sunset Park (2010), along with his screenplays for Smoke (1995) and Blue in the Face (1996). Within, Auster nimbly discusses his poetry, memoir, nonfiction, translations, and film directing.

Hand to Mouth - Paul Auster - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Hand to Mouth - Paul Auster - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

''One of the most original and audacious autobiographies ever written by a writer.'' Le Monde Hand to Mouth tells the story of the young Paul Auster''s struggle to stay afloat. By turns poignant and comic, Auster''s memoir is essentially a book about money - and what it means not to have it. From one odd job to the next, from one failed scheme to another, Auster investigates his own stubborn compulsion to make art and, in the process, treats us to a series of remarkable adventures and unforgettable encounters. Hand to Mouth is essential reading for anyone interested in Paul Auster, in the figure of the struggling artist, in the nature of poverty, or in baseball.

Here and Now - Paul Auster - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Here and Now is a collection of letters between Paul Auster and Nobel laureate J. M. Coetzee, two of the greatest writers of our time. ‘Uniquely insightful.'' Independent ‘Extraordinary.’ Times Literary Supplement Although Paul Auster and J. M. Coetzee had been reading each other’s books for years, the two writers did not meet until February 2008. Not long after, Auster received a letter from Coetzee, suggesting they begin exchanging letters on a regular basis and, ‘God willing, strike sparks off each other’. Here and Now is the result of that proposal: an epistolary dialogue between two great writers who became great friends. Over three years their letters touched on nearly every subject, from sports to fatherhood, literature to film, philosophy to politics, from the financial crisis to art, eroticism, marriage, friendship, and love.
