4.9/5 (33823 ratings)

Description:Paul Auster published his first prose work, the autobiographical "The Invention of Solitude," in 1982; since then his fiction has gained ever growing popular and critical acclaim. This book is a stimulating pioneering study of eight works that make up the Auster canon: "The Invention of Solitude," the three novellas that comprise "The New York Trilogy," and the novels "In the Country of Last Things, Moon Palace, The Music of Chance," and "Leviathan." Focusing on the quest - which she sees as the master narrative of all of Austers novels - Shiloh examines Austers writing in a multi-layered context of literary and philosophical paradigms relevant to his practice, such as the American tradition of the -open road, - the generic conventions of detective fiction, postmodernist concepts of the subject, Sartres and Camuss existentialist theories, and Freuds and Lacans psychoanalytic models, all of which offer enriching and insightful perspectives on Austers poetics."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
