Winter Journal

Facing his sixty-third winter, internationally acclaimed novelist Paul Auster sits down to write a history of his body and its sensations - both pleasurable and painful. Thirty years after the publication of The Invention of Solitude, in which he wrote so movingly about fatherhood, Auster gives us another unconventional memoir in which he writes about his mother's life and death. Winter Journal is a highly personal meditation on the body, time and memory by one of our most intellectually elegant writers.
