Klappentext In WINTER JOURNAL Auster moves through the events of his life in a random series of memories grasped from the point of view of his life now: playing baseball as a teenager; participating in the anti-Vietnam demonstrations at Columbia University; seeking out prostitutes in Paris! almost killing his second wife and child in a car accident; falling in and out of live with his first wife. Winter Journal , Paul Auster's 'unsparingly honest' memoir, is an unorthodox, beautifully wrought examination of his own life as seen through the history of his body. Zusammenfassung 'You think it will never happen to you! that it cannot happen to you! that you are the only person world to whom none of these things will ever happen! and then! one by one! they all begin to happen to you! in the same way they happen to everyone else.' From the point of view of his life now! the author moves you through the events of his life.
