Book Description Paperback. First Ed thus; First Printing indicated. REMAINDER, showing a tiny dot at the bottom edge. Else, Near Fine in Wraps: shows the mildest rubbing; binding shows slight lean, but remains perfectly secure; text clean. Virtually 'As New'. NOT a Book-Club Edition. NOT an Ex-Library copy. 8vo. 449pp. Trade Paperback. The early, unending attempts of Paul Auster to become a writer, in both the wordly and literary sense. The monumental quantity of his failures is an example to all would-be artists, of any genre, of the need to persevere in one's creative efforts. He includes three samples of his early and unsuccessful attempts, and through these examples the reader sees Auster's beginning efforts at expressing themes which he later developed fully. Not too many people are willing to expose their awkward early attempts, but by including these early examples, it gives us the extraordinary chance to compare them to their later, final form in his published works. An unusually honest and intimate look at the struggle to create, and the mindboggling tenacity it requires. First Ed thus; First Printing indicated. Seller Inventory # 35058
