Title: The Invention of Solitude - Paul Auster - book
Summary :
Even before we packed our bags and set off on the three-hour drive to New Jersey, I knew I would have to write about my father..." For the author-narrator, this unexpected and brutal death heralds a fundamental confrontation: one that pits writing against memory, writing against life. Story and novel, a quest doomed to failure for an "invisible man" removed by death, and also for an intimate wound, this is a demanding and powerful work, a source text from a writer recognized as one of the most outstanding talents of the young American generation.
