Writing fiction requires so much work and thought and discipline . Unusual people have the patience and the time to devote themselves to this endeavor . How do they do it
Not only a novel creates intimacy between two strangers. Music can do this too. If you listen to music, or even better if you play yourself a piece written down (you get in touch with the composer). Or, best thing ever, play together with someone. You have to feel the music together, be yourself and at the same time listen carefully to the other. In this moment you can have the most beautiful intimacy with a complete stranger.
How can anyone NOT like Paul Auster? He emanates a nice warmth
RIP Paul. My condolences to Siri and Sophie and the rest of Paul’s family and friends.
Lovely interview. Very insightful and enjoyable.

"No idea why it's funny".... Paul is a true gentleman.
You're tiring... and wrong as well (twice).
Philippine DeRenty and you’re an idiot, dear Philippine. Randall is quite right.
It really wasn't funny, though.

But it’s not the same, music requires less of the audience
Precious Criator Thinker Carpenter...Saw him at frankfurt book fair.- mountains of books sold

Who put Paul in that ill fitting low chair? Painful to watch.
