A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

The story of a manual Olympia typewriter, more than 25 years old, and the agent of transmission for the work of one of the most varied and critically acclaimed contemporary authors. Also the story of a relationship, between Auster, his typewriter, and the artist Sam Messer, who sought out Auster and inserted himself into his creative process. Written in Auster's disceming prose and illustrated with Messer's layered, obsessive drawings and paintings, this book will stun fans of both author and artist and will appeal to fine-book lovers alike.

Paul Auster is the author of many critically acclaimed novels, including Leviathon, Moon Palace, Timbuktu and his memoir, Invention of Solitude. He also worked on two successful films in collaboration with Wayne Wang: Smoke, starring William Hurt and Harvey Keitel, for which he wrote the screenplay; and Blue in the Face, which he co-directed. His most recent collaboration with an artist was his project with Sophie Calle, entitled Double Gane, which has been commended as a visually and lyrically sophisticated work. He lives in Brooklyn. Sam Messer is an artist who lives in Los Angeles and teaches at Yale University. His work is in many public collections worldwide. His first monograph, One Man by Himself: Portraits of Jon Serl (Profile Series), was published in 1995 to great critical acclaim.
