In this acrobatic and virtuosic collection, Paul Auster traces the
compulsion to make literature. In a selection of interviews, as well
as in the essay 'The Red Notebook' itself, Auster reflects upon his
own work, on the need to break down the boundary between living and
writing, and on the use of certain genre conventions to penetrate
matters of memory and identity.
_The Red Notebook _both illuminates and undermines our accepted
notions about literature, and guides us towards a finer understanding
of the dangerously high stakes involved in writing. It also includes
Paul Auster's impassioned essay 'A Prayer for Salman Rushdie', as well
as a set of striking and bittersweet reminiscences collected under the
apposite title, 'Why Write?'
