His varied career as a novelist, poet, translator, and filmmaker has attracted scholarly scrutiny from a variety of critical perspectives. The steadily rising arc of his large readership has made him something of a popular culture figure with many appearances in print interviews, as well as on television, the radio, and the internet. Auster's best-known novel may be his first, \u003ci\u003eCity of Glass\u003c\/i\u003e (1985), a grim and intellectually puzzling mystery that belies its surface image as a detective novel and goes on to become a profound meditation on transience and mortality, the inadequacies of language, and isolation. Fifteen more novels have followed since then, including \u003ci\u003eThe Music of Chance\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMoon Palace\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e The Book of Illusions\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Brooklyn Follies\u003c\/i\u003e. He has, in the words of one critic, \"given the phrase 'experimental fiction' a good name\" by fashioning bona fide literary works with all the rigor and intellect demanded of the contemporary avant-garde.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e This volume-the first of its kind on Auster-will be useful to both scholars and students for the penetrating self-analysis and the wide range of biographical information and critical commentary it contains. \u003ci\u003eConversations with Paul Auster\u003c\/i\u003e covers all of Auster's oeuvre, from \u003ci\u003eThe New York Trilogy\u003c\/i\u003e of which \u003ci\u003eCity of Glass\u003c\/i\u003e is a component to \u003ci\u003eSunset Park\u003c\/i\u003e (2010), along with his screenplays for \u003ci\u003eSmoke\u003c\/i\u003e (1995) and \u003ci\u003eBlue in the Face\u003c\/i\u003e (1996). Within, Auster nimbly discusses his poetry, memoir, nonfiction, translations, and film directing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","brand":"University Press of Mississippi","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52685671465240,"sku":"9781496828200","price":21.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/conversations-with-paul-auster-paperback-softback-9781496828200","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
