One month before his sixty-fourth birthday, novelist Paul Auster sat down and wrote the first entry of "Winter Journal," his unorthodox, beautifully wrought examination of his own life, as seen through the history of his body. Auster takes us from childhood to the brink of old age as he summons forth a universe of physical sensation, of pleasures and pains, moving from the awakening of sexual desire as an adolescent to the ever-deepening bonds of married love, to the "scalding, epiphanic moment of clarity" in 1978 that set him on a new course as a writer.
Synopsis
PAUL AUSTER is the bestselling author of Sunset Park , Invisible, Man in the Dark , The Book of Illusions , and The New York Triology, among many other works. His books have been translated into forty-three languages. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
