A Life in Words

Paul Auster&#146;s <i>A Life in Words</i>&#151;a wide-ranging dialogue between Auster and the Danish professor I. B. Siegumfeldt&#151;is a remarkably candid and sharply focused investigation into one writer&#146;s art craft and life. It includes many revelations that have never been shared before. This is a book that&#146;s full of surprises composed of spoken words that sometimes jump off the page like good drama.<br> &#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; <br>The conversations between Auster and Siegumfeldt went on for three years starting in 2011 and continuing after there was a complete draft in revisions. All twenty-one of Auster&#146;s narrative works are covered as well as all the themes and obsessions that drive the work and the man.
