The figure of Lulu - created by the playwright Frank Wedekind and immortalized by Louise Brooks in Pandora's Box - is one of the most seductive images in twentieth-century culture. In Lulu On The Bridge, Paul Auster plays with this image, creating not just a world within a world, but also alternative worlds where the variations on the themes of love and death are worked out eternally. Moving effortlessly between reality and the fiction of film-making, Paul Auster displays a mastery of form, as well as the ability to engage the emotions in a powerful way.
