Synopsis
A fascinating discussion with one of America's greatest living writers about language, literature, and life.
Paul Auster's A Life In Words a wide-ranging dialogue between Auster and the Danish professor I. B. Siegumfeldt is a remarkably candid and often surprising celebration of one writer's art, craft, and life. It includes many revelations that have never been shared before, such as that he doesn't consider himself a postmodernist even though he is frequently labelled as one. This is a book that s full of surprises, composed of spoken words that sometimes jump off the page like good drama.
The conversations between Auster and Siegumfeldt went on for three years, starting in 2011, and continuing after there was a complete draft in revisions and further conversations that went on until now. All 21 of Auster's narrative works are covered as well as all the themes and obsessions that drive the work, and the man.

About the Author
PAUL AUSTER is one of the very few giants of English-language literature who has successfully made the leap from the twentieth to the twenty-first century. A poet and translator before he crossed over to mainstream relevance as a memoirist and novelist, Auster continues to challenge and dazzle his readers in America and around the world. But though there are many books and countless PhDs on Auster, we as a society are far from having decided what he means to us, and haven't yet begun to let him chance and provoke us as thoroughly as he must--as James Joyce or Beckett has, for example. Auster lives in Brooklyn. His most recent novel is 4 3 2 1.
I. B. SIEGUMFELDT in an associate professor of English Germanic, and Romance Studies at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark and the driving force behind the Paul Auster Center that is housed there.
