During the nearly thirty years he's lived in Brooklyn, Paul Auster has become one of the most respected novelists writing in America today. He's published over twenty books, including The New York Trilogy and The Brooklyn Follies as well as written and co-directed the films Smoke and Blue in the Face. His latest novel, Man in the Dark, deals with a retired book critic who battles his chronic insomnia by imagining a parallel universe where America is entangled in the midst of a civil war. We talked to Auster about the uncivil political war going on in the country right now, how the rest of the country sees our city as well as what his relationship is like with his previous characters. Tonight he'll be speaking at the NYPL (details).
