Description: From the bestselling author of 4 3 2 1 and The New York Trilogy an updated collection of Paul Auster's nonfiction including the seminal work The Invention of Solitude. Paul Auster spent his fifty - year writing career examining what it means to be truly alive. And in Groundwork a self - curated collection Auster stitches together various autobiographical writings to lay bare the trajectory of both his personal life and sense of self. From his breakout memoir The Invention of Solitude which solidified Auster's reputation as a canonical voice in American letters to excerpts from his later memoirs Winter Journal and Report from the Interior readers are ushered into the inner workings of Auster's self - development. His sweeping recollection winds through the halls of Columbia University during the turbulent 1960s and into life as a young poet - turned - novelist then dives headfirst into the realities that accompany aging today. Along the way Auster continually challenges the notion of what autobiography can be inverting the form through fragmentation and ultimately illustrating firsthand the brilliance behind one of the great writers of our time" (San Francisco Chronicle).
