One day there is life. . . . And then, suddenly, it happens there is death.
The Invention of Solitude, split into two stylistically separate sections, established Paul Austers reputation as a major voice in American literature. The first section, Portrait of an Invisible Man, explores Austers memories and feelings after the death of his father, a distant, undemonstrative, almost cold man. As he attends to his fathers business affairs and sifts through his effects, Auster uncovers a sixty-year-old family murder mystery that sheds light on his fathers elusive character. In The Book of Memory, the perspective shifts from Austers identity as a son to his role as a father. Through a mosaic of images, coincidences, and associations, the narrator, A, contemplates his separation from his son, his dying grandfather, and the solitary nature of storytelling and writing.
