Paul Auster at the Edinburgh International Book Festival

The great American novelist makes his first ever appearance at the Book Festival. In 4 3 2 1, Paul Auster gives Archibald Isaac
Ferguson, an only child, four different stories. Four Fergusons made of the same genetic material, four boys who are the same boy, will go on to lead four parallel and entirely different lives. Chapter by chapter, the rotating narrative dances across mid-20th century America. At 70, Paul Auster presents his finest work in this event filmed live at the 2017 Edinburgh International Book Festival.

I love Paul Aster’s literary voice and his actual voice. I could listen to him all day.

This book makes me want to write my own version of four opportunities for the living of my own life. I went through those years myself and I like to see them reflected in Auster. I wish he had lived longer.

really wish politics was kept out of the discussion. definitely took away more than it added to the interview and it would be a stretch to say it helped to significantly illuminate the themes in his book. great interview up to that point :)
