Paul Auster

Forfatterbiografi

Paul Auster (født 1947 i Newark, New Jersey) var en amerikansk forfatter og forfatterpersonlighed kendt for eksperimenterende, fortælleteknisk litteratur. Han debuterede med en blanding af erindring og poetisk refleksion og slog hurtigt igennem med sine romaner og novelleserier, hvor tilfældighed, identitet og fortællingens konstruktion ofte står centralt. I dansk omtale fremhæves han især for Timbuktu (1999), samt for den bredt læste New York-trilogi og de senere romaner som Moon Palace, The Music of Chance og The Book of Illusions. Auster fik også stor international gennemslagskraft som essayist og nonfiktionforfatter. Han døde i april 2024. Hans betydning for litteraturen knytter sig til, at han forenede amerikansk storbyfølelse med en mere meta-fortællende og gådefuld prosa, der har inspireret mange samtidige skribenter til at udforske grænserne mellem fiktion, dokument og sprogleg.
