The celebrated author of The New York Trilogy, The Book of Illusions and Invisible presents here a highly personal collection of essays, prefaces and occasional pieces written for magazines and newspapers. Ranging in subject from Walter Raleigh to Kafka; Hawthorne to the high-wire artist Philippe Petit; conceptual artist Sophie Calle to Auster's own Olympia typewriter; the 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers to his beloved New York City itself, Auster displays all his customary flair, wit and insight.

Including several of his major works - important books in their own right, such as Hand to Mouth and The Invention of Solitude - this collection demonstrates and reaffirms the pre-eminent position Paul Auster holds in contemporary literature and criticism.

Recensione:
One of America's leading novelists . . . The literary essays and prefaces in this collection are elegant and accessible . . . Much of what is offered here displays his warmth, democratic instincts, and human concerns. (Hilary Mantel Daily Telegraph)

Auster's Collected Prose provides a fascinating long-exposure snapshot of a writer's private and abiding obsessions and touchstones as he oscillates between the worlds of his life and art.' (The Times)

[Auster's] informed enthusiams, especially for European modernism and aspects of the avant-garde, make him a passionate, intelligent and stimulating commentator. He writes acutely about the dilemmas which inform serious artistic decisions. These hospitable, generous pieces make one want to go immediately to the writers he discusses. (Robert Potts The Observer 2003-11-15)

A remarkable writer whose work needs to be read in totality. (Sunday Herald)
