Representaion To Books The Red Notebook: True Stories
Paul Auster has earned international praise for the imaginative power of his many novels, including The New York Trilogy, Moon Palace, The Music of Chance, Mr. Vertigo, and Timbuktu. He has also published a number of highly original non-fiction works: The Invention of Solitude, Hand to Mouth, and The Art of Hunger. In The Red Notebook, Auster again explores events from the real world large and small, tragic and comic—that reveal the unpredictable, shifting nature of human experience. A burnt onion pie, a wrong number, a young boy struck by lightning, a man falling off a roof, a scrap of paper discovered in a Paris hotel room—all these form the context for a singular kind of ars poetica, a literary manifesto without theory, cast in the irreducible forms of pure story telling.Define Books In Pursuance Of The Red Notebook: True Stories

Nothing more beautiful than Paul Austers works as his autobiography .. very passionately illustrated essays about his personal memoir , selections of books he translated & why and finally a selection of short passages on (why write?) ..Loved it as his amazing literate works ..This is a great book to read on a Sunday, or any rainy day (yep, as cliché as it sounds). I read in other reviews of Auster's books that he writes stories that anyone could write, and I now understand why people seem to think that. Auster writes in a contemporary style, about contemporary places, and typical relations, yet, it is precisely these set of characteristics that makes him apparently simple, but at the same time unique. It takes great intelligence to notice the small details necessary
The Red Notebook, Paul Auster The Red Notebook is a story-in-a-story collection by Paul Auster. The book consists of four parts, all stories which had appeared previously: The Red Notebook (1995), Why Write? (1996), Accident Report (1999) and It Don't Mean a Thing (2000). They are true stories gathered from Auster's life as well as the lives of his friends and acquaintances and they have all one thing in common: the paradox of coincidence. Auster narrates things he writes about in his fiction,
Thinking I need to do a bit of re-reading and perhaps buy my own copy.
Very enjoyable little collection of true stories. Most are based around coincidence, all are short, some told to him, some happened to him. Many are remarkable in their content, all are told remarkably well.
Oh, Paul Auster! I love this man so much. The simplicity his writing is just beautiful, and the stories themselves- all of which are about extraordinary moments or coincidences- kind of restored my faith in humanity, in fate, in life. It's so wonderful to know that moments like this exist, and that someone has taken the time to recall them. It's rare that I stumble upon a coincidence as profound as some of the ones in this book (Nazi prison guard's daughter falls in love with prisoner's son, a
A slim red little notebook, just a few stories thrown in, all about this rather remarkable thing we call coincidences, or Chance. It's like a little amuse bouche of Paul Auster and the rest of his work. This is what it tastes like, only a crumble to wet the appetite.
