This book focuses upon the literary and autobiographical writings of American novelist Paul Auster, investigating his literary postmodernity in relation to a full range of his writings. Martin addresses Auster’s evocation of a range of postmodern notions, such as the duplicitous art of self-invention, the role of chance and contingency, authorial authenticity and accountability, urban dislocation, and the predominance of duality.
Brendan Martin was awarded a doctorate at Queen’s University Belfast where he specialized in American literature and postmodern theory. He is an Arts Associate Lecturer with the Open University in Ireland and Librarian at St. Mary’s University College Belfast.
