The novels of Paul Auster-finely wrought, self-reflexive, filled
with doublings, coincidences, and mysteries-have captured the
imagination of readers and the admiration of many critics of
contemporary literature. In Beyond the Red Notebook, the first book
devoted to the works of Auster, Dennis Barone has assembled an
international group of scholars who present twelve essays that
provide a rich and insightful examination of Auster's writings. The
authors explore connections between Auster's poetry and fiction,
the philosophical underpinnings of his writing, its relation to
detective fiction, and its unique embodiment of the postmodern
sublime. Their essays provide the fullest analysis available of
Auster's themes of solitude, chance, and paternity found in works
such as The Invention of Solitude, City of Glass, Ghosts, The
Locked Room, In the Country of Last Things, Moon Palace, The Music
of Chance, and Leviathan. This volume includes contributions from
Pascal Bruckner, Marc Chenetier, Norman Finkelstein, Derek Rubin,
Madeleine Sorapure, Stephen Bernstein, Tim Woods, Steven
Weisenburger, Arthur Saltzman, Eric Wirth, and Motoyuki Shibata.
The extensive bibliography, prepared by William Drenttel, will
greatly benefit both scholars and general readers.
