The Red Notebook

About this book

"In The Red Notebook, Auster again explores events from the real world - large and small, tragic and comic - that reveal the unpredictable, shifting nature of human experience. A burnt onion pie, a wrong number, a young boy struck by lightning, a man falling off a roof, a scrap of paper discovered in a Paris hotel room - all these form the context for a singular kind of ars poetica, a literary manifesto without theory, cast in the irreducible forms of pure story telling."--BOOK JACKET.
