'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.

"On the eve of Christmas Eve..." Paul Auster writes, "Tyler Kobe Nichols collapsed onto the sidewalk with three knife wounds in the front of his torso and one in the back." His death soon followed. With it, the twenty-one-year-old joined the ranks of young people killed by senseless violence in America. Tyler's death warranted just two paragraphs in the New York Daily News. And yet with each death, a new story begins that is rarely if ever told; one that centers around the fallout from traumatic loss. This story, as Tyler's mother Sherma Chambers keenly observes, is generational, with no clear end in sight. Long Live King Kobe began with a mistake. Photographer Spencer Ostrander had arrived at the funeral for Tyler believing he was a victim of gun violence, and hoping to include him in an ongoing project Ostrander had created to document the lives of gun victims. Instead, he met Sherma Chambers, and a week later a collaboration, which soon included Paul Auster, had begun--one in which a pair of strangers would join a family in their sorrow. Thanks to the generosity of the entire Nichols/Chambers family, Long Live King Kobe invites us to join them in their intimate grief in the weeks that followed Tyler's death. The family's response to his murder, including their creation of a foundation dedicated to counteracting street violence with love, is one that presents their tragedy as a means for our society to grow. Long Live King Kobe offers a privileged journey into the power of community for all who have felt outrage, confusion, sadness, and deep despair at the epidemic of violence in our country. It also provides reason to hope. The Long Live King Kobe Foundation, started by Sherma Chambers, will support nonviolence initiatives to keep youth safe. Proceeds from this book will benefit the foundation.

An intimate and powerful rumination on American gunviolence by Paul Auster, one of our greatest living writers and "genuineAmerican original" (The Boston Globe), in an unforgettable collaborationwith photographer Spencer OstranderLike most American boys of his generation, Paul Auster grewup playing with toy six-shooters and mimicking the gun-slinging cowboys in BWesterns. A skilled marksman by the age of ten, he also lived through thetraumatic aftermath of the murder of his grandfather by his grandmother whenhis father was a child and knows, through firsthand experience, how familiescan be wrecked by a single act of gun violence. In this short, searing book, Auster traces centuries ofAmerica's use and abuse of guns, from the violent displacement of the nativepopulation to the forced enslavement of millions, to the bitter divide betweenembattled gun control and anti-gun control camps that has developed over thepast 50 years and the mass shootings that dominate the news today. Since 1968, more than one and a half million Americans have been killed by guns. Thenumbers are so large, so catastrophic, so disproportionate to what goes onelsewhere, that one must ask why. Why is America so different--and why are wethe most violent country in the Western world? Interwoven with Spencer Ostrander's haunting photographs ofthe sites of more than thirty mass shootings in all parts of the country, BloodbathNation presents a succinct but thorough examination of America at acrossroads, and asks the central, burning question of our moment: What kind ofsociety do we want to live in? A portion of proceeds from this book will be donated tothe Violence Policy Center, a nonprofit organization working to stop gun deathand injury through research, education, and advocacy.

BLOODBATH NATION is about the Epidemic that is tearing apart the fabric of American society. An Epidemic caused - not by Covid - but by Guns. Among its victims are men, women, teenagers, children, and even babies. The massacres have taken place in churches, schools, movie theatres, and at rock concerts. Auster establishes how America’s love affair with guns goes all the way back to the arrival of the first British settlers - guns in hand - who used these guns to eradicate the Native Americans who occupied the country. This history of carnage continues to this day. Interwoven into the text are photographs taken by Spencer Ostrander of the locations of the mass killlngs - which serve as mute testaments to the lives that have been lost. Guns have become one of the issues dividing America today, but Auster doesn’t take sides. The book is a plea for both sides to find a way of avoiding more death and grief. Accompanying Auster’s text is a series of photographs of the locations of these mass killings. There are no bodies - only the empty spaces which stand as mute memorials to the lives that have been lost.

A LOS ANGELES TIMES Book Prize WinnerBooker Prize-shortlisted and New York Times bestselling author Paul Auster's comprehensive, landmark biography of the great American writer Stephen Crane. With Burning Boy, celebrated novelist Paul Auster tells the extraordinary story of Stephen Crane, best known as the author of The Red Badge of Courage, who transformed American literature through an avalanche of original short stories, novellas, poems, journalism, and war reportage before his life was cut short by tuberculosis at age twenty-eight. Auster's probing account of this singular life tracks Crane as he rebounds from one perilous situation to the next: A controversial article written at twenty disrupts the course of the 1892 presidential campaign, a public battle with the New York police department over the false arrest of a prostitute effectively exiles him from the city, a star-crossed love affair with an unhappily married uptown girl tortures him, a common-law marriage to the proprietress of Jacksonville's most elegant bawdyhouse endures, a shipwreck results in his near drowning, he withstands enemy fire to send dispatches from the Spanish-American War, and then he relocates to England, where Joseph Conrad becomes his closest friend and Henry James weeps over his tragic, early death. In Burning Boy, Auster not only puts forth an immersive read about an unforgettable life but also, casting a dazzled eye on Crane's astonishing originality and productivity, provides uniquely knowing insight into Crane's creative processes to produce the rarest of reading experiences--the dramatic biography of a brilliant writer as only another literary master could tell it.

Bogen Vinternoter handlede om Paul Austers fysiske omgivelser livet igennem, hans legemlige selv og de ting, dette selv har været udsat for og har oplevet, herunder de slag og fornøjelser kroppen har gennemlevet. Nu følger Auster op på vinternoterne med en bog, der beskæftiger sig med de mentale aspekter af selvet, de psykiske forhold i barndommen og ungdommen, der har formet forfatteren og gjort ham til den han er i dag. Auster går ganske konkret til værks når det gælder om at finde svarene på de helt universelle og alment menneskelige spørgsmål: Hvem er jeg? Og hvorfor?

? New York var et uudtømmeligt rum, en labyrint af endeløse skridt, og uanset hvor langt han gik, uanset hvor fortrolig han blev med sit kvarter og dets gader, havde han altid fornemmelsen af at fare vild. Ikke blot fare vild i byen, men også i sig selv..." New York trilogien består af "By af glas", "Genfærd" og "Det aflåste værelse". ? Disse tre romaner markerer et afgørende øjeblik i amerikansk litteratur. Her finder en for alvor ny stemme sit emne, byen sin tone, en blanding af hvid lyd og splintret blå jazz, og sit mønster, labyrinten..." Bo Green Jensen

"Izmyshlenie odinochestva""Izmyshlenie odinochestva" - debjut Pola Ostera, avtora "Knigi illjuzij", "Mistera Vertigo", "Nju-jorkskoj trilogii", "Timbuktu", "Khrama Luny". Odinochestvo - skvoznaja tema knigi. Inogda ono - nakazanie, kak v sluchae s biblejskim Ionoj, okazavshimsja v chreve kita. Inogda - dar, dobrovolnoe reshenie otgoroditsja ot drugikh, chtoby uslyshat sebja. Odinochestvo pozvoljaet sozdat sobstvennyj mir, sdelat ego nevidimym i nepostizhimym dlja drugikh. Posle smerti cheloveka etot mir, kotoryj on tschatelno oberegal ot vtorzhenija, stanovitsja ujazvim. Tak proizoshlo posle smerti ottsa glavnogo geroja.

"Tajnaja kniga""Tajnaja kniga" derzhalas v spiske bestsellerov Amazon v techenie dvukh mesjatsev. I eto ne sluchajno.

In 1960 a mysterious car crash killed Albert Camus and his publisher Michel Gallimard, who was behind the wheel. Based on meticulous research, Giovanni Catelli builds a compelling case that the 46-year-old French Algerian Nobel laureate was the victim of premeditated murder: he was silenced by the KGB. The Russians had a motive: Camus had campaigned tirelessly against the Soviet crushing of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, and vociferously supported the awarding of the Nobel Prize to the dissident novelist Boris Pasternak, which enraged Moscow. Sixty years after Camus’ death, Catelli takes us back to a murky period in the Cold War. He probes the relationship between Camus and Pasternak, the fraught publication of Doctor Zhivago, the penetration of France by Soviet spies, and the high price paid by those throughout Europe who resisted the USSR.

Paul Auster's novels have earned him the reputation as 'one of America's most spectacularly inventive writers.' He has also brought this sense of invention to the art of screenwriting, producing Smoke, Blue in the Face, Lulu on the Bridge and The Inner Life of Martin Frost. Smoke tells the story of a novelist, a cigar store manager and a black teenager who unexpectedly cross paths. Blue in the Face is a largely improvised comedy directly inspired by Smoke. In Lulu on the Bridge, jazz musician Izzy Maurer is accidently hit with a bullet during a performance in a New York club, propelling him on a strange and frightening journey. The Inner Life of Martin Frost follows the unsettling experiences that befall a writer who borrows a friend's country house. The volume also contains production notes, as well as interviews with Paul Auster about his work in film.

From the bestselling author of 4 3 2 1 and The New York Trilogy, an updated collection of Paul Auster's nonfiction, including the seminal work The Invention of Solitude. Paul Auster spent his fifty-year writing career examining what it means to be truly alive. And in Groundwork, a self-curated collection, Auster stitches together various autobiographical writings to lay bare the trajectory of both his personal life and sense of self. From his breakout memoir, The Invention of Solitude, which solidified Auster's reputation as a canonical voice in American letters, to excerpts from his later memoirs, Winter Journal and Report from the Interior, readers are ushered into the inner workings of Auster's self-development. His sweeping recollection winds through the halls of Columbia University during the turbulent 1960s and into life as a young poet-turned-novelist, then dives headfirst into the realities that accompany aging today. Along the way, Auster continually challenges the notion of what autobiography can be, inverting the form through fragmentation and, ultimately, illustrating firsthand the brilliance behind "one of the great writers of our time" (San Francisco Chronicle).

White Spaces gathers the poetry and prose of Paul Auster from various small-press books issued throughout the seventies. These early poetic works are crucial for understanding the evolution of Auster's writing. Taut, lyrical, and always informed by a powerful and subtle music, his poems begin with basics--a swallow's egg, stones, roots, thistle, "the glacial rose"--and push language to the breaking point. As Robert Creeley wrote, "The enduring power of these early poems is their moving address to a world all too elusive, too fragmented, and too bitterly transient." Auster's poems are grounded in a physical utterance that is at once an exploration of the mind and of the world. This collection begins with compact verse fragments from Spokes (originally published in Poetry, 1971) and goes through Auster's marvelous later collections including Wall Writing (The Figures, 1976), Facing the Music (Parenthese, 1979), and White Spaces (Station Hill, 1980).

New York-trilogien var Paul Austers store gjennombrot som forfattar og kanskje det mest overraskande verket til ein forfattar som stadig fortset å fornye seg. Først av alt er dette romanane til ein stor forteljar. Boka åpnar som ein thriller som er Raymond Chandler verdig, men som den danske kritikaren Poul Bourum skreiv, blandar han dette virtuost med element av Borges og Poe, Lewis Carroll og Cervantes. Trilogien utviklar seg etter kvart også til ein søking etter kva det vil sei å vera menneske. Og New York, denne uendeleg store, uhandgripelege byen der menneske møtes og skiljes, er det store sjakkbrettet der forfattaren plasserer sine brikker og der mykje står på spel. Det er ein forbløffande og intens labyrintisk forteljing.

Samtaler med fremmede er en samling af tekster af den amerikanske forfatter Paul Auster, skrevet og samlet fra de seneste halvtreds år. De 44 tekster giver et bredt og mangefacetteret billede af Paul Auster, hans tanker og reflektioner over en bred vifte af emner: korte filosofiske meditationer, politiske tekster, der berører emner som hjemløshed, 9/11, og sammenhængen mellem fodbold og krig samt tekster om hans lange rejse med den højt elskede skrivemaskine. Samtaler med fremmede er en samling tekster med ekstrem spændvidde, højt til loftet og stor menneskelighed, hvilket gør den til en vigtig bog af en af de helt store amerikanske forfattere.? - The Spectator
