'_One day there is life . . . And then, suddenly, it happens there is
death._'
So begins Paul Auster's moving and personal meditation on fatherhood,
_The Invention of Solitude_. The first section, 'Portrait of an
Invisible Man', reveals Auster's memories and feelings after the death
of his father. In 'The Book of Memory' the perspective shifts to
Auster's role as a father. The narrator, 'A.', contemplates his
separation from his son, his dying grandfather and the solitary nature
of writing and story-telling.
With all the keen literary intelligence familiar from _The New York
Trilogy_ or _Sunset Park_, Paul Auster crafts an intensely intimate
work from a ground-breaking combination of introspection, meditation
and biography.
