It explores his key themes of identity; language and writing; metropolitan living and community; and storytelling and illusion. By tracing how Auster's representations of New York and city life have matured from a position of urban nihilism to qualified optimism, the book shows how the variety of forms he works in influences the treatment of his central concerns. The chapters are organised around gradually extending spaces to reflect the way in which Auster's work broadens it 410 0$aContemporary American & Canadian Writers 606 $aAmerican literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 610 $aNew York. 610 $aPaul Auster. 610 $acity life. 610 $acommunity. 610 $aidentity. 610 $aillusion. 610 $ametropolitan living. 610 $aoptimism. 610 $astorytelling. 610 $aurban nihilism. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a813.54 700 $aBrown$b Mark$f1967-$01687772 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819599503321 996 $aPaul Auster$94061507 997 $aUNINA
