In \u003cem\u003eThe Red Notebook\u003c\/em\u003e, 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 \u003cem\u003ears poetica\u003c\/em\u003e, a literary manifesto without theory, cast in the irreducible forms of pure story telling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAuster, Paul:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - A critically acclaimed novelist, essayist, and translator, \u003cstrong\u003ePaul Auster\u003c\/strong\u003e lives in Brooklyn.
