Winter Journal Paul Auster

This paper focuses on the impact of narratological characteristics on the reconstruction of memory and self in Paul Auster’s Winter Journal (2012) – an innovative work of autobiographical fragments which deviates from traditional life writing in that it is written in the second person. Facing his 63rd winter, internationally acclaimed novelist Paul Auster sits down to write a history of his body and its sensations - both pleasurable and painful.
