'In the beginning, everything was alive. The smallest objects were
endowed with beating hearts . . .' Having recalled his life through
the story of his physical self in Winter Journal, internationally
best-selling novelist Paul Auster now remembers the experience of
his development from within, through the encounters of his interior
self with the outer world, as well as through a selection of the
revealing letters he sent to his first wife, acclaimed author Lydia
Davis. An impressionistic portrait of a writer coming of age,
Report from the Interior moves from Auster's baby's-eye view of the
man in the moon to his childhood worship of the movie cowboy Buster
Crabbe to the composition of his first poem at the age of nine to
his dawning awareness of the injustices of American life. Report
from the Interior charts Auster's moral, political and intellectual
journey as he inches his way toward adulthood through the post-war
fifties and into the turbulent 1960s. Paul Auster evokes the
sounds, smells, and tactile sensations that marked his early life -
and the many images that came at him, including moving images (he
adored cartoons, he was in love with films), until, at its unique
climax, the book breaks away from prose into pure imagery: the
final section of Report from the Interior recapitulates the first
three parts, told in an album of pictures. At once a story of the
times and the story of the emerging consciousness of a renowned
literary artist, this four-part work answers the challenge of
autobiography in ways rarely, if ever, seen before.
