  4. “A SILENT END TO MY SAD AND RIDICULOUS LIFE” (1) • “HENCE MY UNCONSCIOUS RETURN TO THE PLACE WHERE MY STORY BEGAN” (3)

  5. “LIKE TRUTHLESS DREAMS, SO ARE MY JOYS EXPIRED, • AND PAST RETURN ARE ALL MY DANDLED DAYS, • MY LOVE MISLED, AND FANCY QUITE RETIRED: • OF ALL WHICH PAST, THE SORROW ONLY STAYS.” (22)

  6. PAUL AUSTER • BORN FEBRUARY 3, 1947 • THE NEW YORK TRILOGY (1987) • MOON PALACE (1989) • THE MUSIC OF CHANCE (1990) • THE BOOK OF ILLUSIONS (2002) • THE BROOKLYN FOLLIES (2005)

  7. PAUL AUSTER AND POSTMODENISM • BREAKDOWN IN THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN HIGH CULTURE AND LOW CULTURE • “THE BOOK OF HUMAN FOLLIES”

  8. UNCERTAIN BOUNDARIES BETWEEN FACT AND FICTION “… HIS FICTIONAL PROTAGONISTS APPEAR TO BE VERSIONS OF AUSTER.” (MARTIN, 2008)

  9. BLURRING OF FACT AND FICTION • POSTMODERN AUTOBIOGRAPHY • SEL-INVENTION • URBAN DISLOCATION • POSTMODERN INVESTIGATION OF AUTHORSHIP (MARTIN, 2008) • THE INDIVIDUAL WHO LOSES EVERYTHING AND THE SUBSEQUENT ABRUPTLY REDIFINED DIRECTION HIS LIFE TAKES (MARTIN 13)

  10. METAFICTION • THE CRITICAL DISCUSSION OF THE STORY WITHIN THE STORY • VISIBLY INVENTING NARRATOR • INTERTEXTUALITY

  11. AUGGIE WREN’S CHRISTMAS STORY • ACTIVITY: COMPARE • SETTING • “IF ALL MY BOOKS WERE PUT TOGETHER IN ONE VOLUME, THEY WOULD FORM THE BOOK OF MY LIFE SO FAR, A MULTIFACETED PICTURE OF WHO I AM” (MARTIN 22)

  12. CONCLUSION • “… IT NEVERTHELESS TAKES EMPTYING OUT AND SUFFERING VERY SERIOUSLY, AS ALL OF PAUL AUSTER’S WORK DOES, AND IT DOES NOT SUGGEST THAT YOU CAN GET IDENTITY ANYWHERE ANYTIME YOU PLEASE. IT UNDERSTANDS THAT MUCH OF WHAT HAPPENS TO US IS OUT OF OUR HANDS BUT THAT A SMALL AND EVEN TRAGIC POSSIBILITY FOR SELFHOOD IS POSSIBLE, GIVEN SUFFICIENT SUFFERING, PERSISTENCE AND LUCK.” (BLOOM 6)
