The growing popularity of Paul Auster s oeuvre (both
literary and cinematic) has called forth a great
number of critical interpretations, drawing attention
to the psychological, philosophical,
historical-political facets of his fiction.
The novelty of this book consists in that it contains
four essays put together eclectically, in order to
offer an insight in four different approaches on the
above mentioned topics. At the same time it presents
an interdisciplinary aspect of literature, as it
considers many spheres which occur in Auster s work:
relationship between film and literature, adaptation
theory, manifestations of the uncanny on narrative
levels, relation between the writing self and the
urban space, and the deconstruction of popular
American myths. Thus, the present analysis addresses
both graduate and undergraduate students, and anyone
else who may be interested in the fields of American
literature and film studies.
