Winter Journal
Paul Auster
'You think it will never happen to you, that it cannot happen to you, that you are the only person world to whom none of these things will ever happen, and then, one by one, they all begin to happen to you, in the same way they happen to everyone else.'
In Winter Journal, Paul Auster moves through the events of his life in a series of memories grasped from the point of view of his life now: playing baseball as a teenager; participating in the anti-Vietnam demonstrations at Columbia University; seeking out prostitutes in Paris, almost killing his second wife and child in a car accident; falling in and out of live with his first wife; the 'scalding, epiphanic moment of clarity' in 1978 that set him on a new course as a writer.
Winter Journal is a poignant memoir of ageing and memory, written with all the characteristic subtlety, imagination and insight that readers of Paul Auster have come to cherish.
'An examination of the emotions of a man growing old . . . this book has much to recommend it, and Auster is unsparingly honest about himself.' Financial Times

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.
