Report from the Interior

Report from the Interior

From his baby's-eye view of the man in the moon to his childhood worship of the movie cowboy Buster Crabbe to the composition of his first poem at the age of nine to his dawning awareness of the injustices of American life, Report from the Interior charts Auster's moral, political and intellectual journey as he inches his way toward adulthood through the post-war fifties and into the turbulent 1960s. Auster evokes the sounds, smells, and tactile sensations that marked his early life-and the many images that came at him, including moving images (he adored cartoons, he was in love with films), until, at its unique climax, the book breaks away from prose into pure imagery: The final section of Report from the Interior recapitulates the first three parts, told in an album of pictures. At once a story of the times and the story of the emerging consciousness of a renowned literary artist, this four-part work answers the challenge of autobiography in ways rarely, if ever, seen before.

Auster Paul

Paul Auster (Newark, New Jersey, 1947 – Brooklyn, New York, 2024) was a prominent American novelist, essayist, translator, screenwriter and poet. He gained his recognition through a characteristic combination of existentialism, absurdity and metafiction, often exploring the themes of identity, loneliness and the search for meaning in his works.

He studied at Columbia University, but dropped out before graduating. He worked as a translator and editor before devoting himself fully to writing. His literary career began with the publication of The Glass City (1985), which introduced themes of chance, coincidence, and the unpredictable nature of human existence that would recur in his novels. One of Auster's most notable works is The New York Trilogy (1987), a collection of three interconnected novels that established him as a leading figure in American postmodern literature. Other works, such as Moon Palace (1989), The Music of Chance (1990), Leviathan (1992), and Brooklyn Review of Folly (2005), which blend elements of detective fiction, autobiography, and philosophical reflections, further cemented his reputation. Auster also wrote poetry, essays, and memoirs, including The Invention of Solitude (1982) and The Winter Diary (2012). He also tried his hand at writing scripts and directing in films such as Lulu on the Bridge (1998) and The Inner Life of Martin Frost (2007).

Auster is the recipient of numerous awards and recognitions. He was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters and a recipient of the French Order of Achievement in Arts and Letters. His books have been translated into more than forty languages. Revered for his imaginative storytelling and intellectual depth, Auster continues to be a prominent voice in contemporary American literature.

From his baby's-eye view of the man in the moon to his childhood worship of the movie cowboy Buster Crabbe to the composition of his first poem at the age of nine to his dawning awareness of the injustices of American life, Report from the Interior charts Auster's moral, political and intellectual journey as he inches his way toward adulthood through the post-war fifties and into the turbulent 1960s.
