Leaving high school with itchy feet and refusing to play it safe, Auster avoided convention and the double life of steady office employment while writing. From the streets of New York City, Dublin, and Paris to a surreal adventure in a dusty village in Mexico, Auster's account of living on next to nothing introduces an unforgettable cast of characters while examining what it means to be a writer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaul Auster's\u003c\/b\u003e previous novel, \u003ci\u003eTimbuktu\u003c\/i\u003e, was a national bestseller, as was \u003ci\u003eI Thought My Father Was God, \u003c\/i\u003e the NPR National Story Project anthology, which he edited.
