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.

Paul Auster

Paul Auster (Newark, New Jersey, 1947 – Brooklyn, New York, 2024) bio je istaknuti američki romanopisac, esejist, prevodilac, scenarist i pjesnik. Svoju prepoznatljivost stekao je karakterističnim spojem egzistencijalizma, apsurda i metafikcije, često istražujući u svojim djelima teme identiteta, usamljenosti i potrage za smislom.

Studirao je na Univerzitetu Columbia, ali je napustio studij prije nego što ga je završio. Radio je kao prevodilac i urednik prije nego što se u potpunosti posvetio pisanju. Njegova književna karijera započela je objavljivanjem romana Stakleni grad (1985), kojim je uveo teme slučaja, koincidencije i nepredvidljive prirode ljudskog postojanja, koje će se ponavljati u njegovim romanima. Jedno od Austerovih najznačajnijih djela je Njujorška trilogija (1987), spoj tri međusobno povezana romana koja su ga učvrstila kao vodeću figuru u američkoj postmodernoj književnosti. Druga djela, poput romana Mjesečeva palača (1989), Glazba slučaja (1990), Levijatan (1992) i Bruklinska revija ludosti (2005), miješanjem elemenata detektivskog romana, autobiografije i filozofskih promišljanja, nadalje su samo potvrdila njegov ugled. Auster je pisao i poeziju, eseje i memoare, uključujući Izum samoće (1982) i Zimski dnevnik (2012). Okušao se i u pisanju scenarija i režiranju u filmovima poput Lulu na mostu (1998) i Unutrašnji život Martina Frosta (2007).

Auster je dobitnik brojnih nagrada i priznanja. Bio je član Američke akademije umjetnosti i književnosti i nosilac francuskog ordena za postignuća u umjetnosti i književnosti. Knjige su mu prevedene na više od četrdeset jezika. Cijenjen zbog svoga maštovitog pripovijedanja i intelektualne dubine, Auster nastavlja biti istaknut glas savremene američke književnosti.
