Description: In a section of interviews as well as in The Red Notebook, Auster reflects on 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 Art of Hunger undermines and illuminates our accepted notions about literature and throws an unprecedented light on Auster's own richly allusive writings.
