Title : Excursions into the Inner Zone - Paul Auster - Book

Summary :

After revisiting his past in "Winter Chronicle" from the perspective of the body and sensation, Paul Auster here explores the mental landscape of his childhood, populated by objects endowed with life, eclectic novel heroes, cinematic creatures, prodigious baseball players, and sometimes haunted by a frequently angry and always guilty God. From illuminations to uncertainties, from long reveries to moments of exaltation, a young boy is initiated into the world while his adult identity is shaped under the dual sign of the imagination and the sociocultural environment of the United States in the second half of the 20th century, of which more than one hundred illustrations selected by the writer come, at the end of the volume, to embody tutelary figures and highlights.

In addition to the "a posteriori" reconstruction of an intellectual itinerary and the unique paths that a writer's vocation traces on the map of the world, a time capsule containing the letters once addressed by Paul Auster to his future first wife - the novelist Lydia Davis - gives voice in all its harmonics to this solitary and stubborn young man who, having never ceased to obey the imperative injunctions of creation, built the exceptional literary work that established him as one of the most remarkable writers of his generation.
