Product Information

Innocence of youth: How Paul Auster excavated his own past for his latest novel – Features – Books". A truly born and bred Parisian, after studying film, he began his career directing short films and writing screenplays. Laurent is divorced but dating -- though as soon as girlfriend Dominique gets a whiff of another woman in his apartment things get rocky. Kitap; kısa ve - yazarın beyanını esas aldığımızda- gerçek, kendisinin tecrübe ettiği ya da çok yakın dostlarının kendisine aktardığı on beş öyküden oluşuyor. The Red Notebook is about Laurent, a bookseller you can’t help but love as you learn things about him, and Lauren, a woman whose mystery you’d want to know about as much as Laurent, but sadly in a coma.

At the time I arrived in the summer he was finishing up on a collection he had been working on, and was very proud of. When Laurent finds a handbag thrown away in the street without a purse but filled with other belongings he is immediately fascinated by it. I loved the gentle and very French style of this book which makes it a fascinating romance where, as readers, we never quite know whether Laure and Laurent will ever meet. Eduardo Urbina: "Parodias cervantinas: el Quijote en tres novelas de Paul Auster (La ciudad de cristal, El palacio de la luna y El libro de las ilusiones)". French TV is making a film of The President’s Hatand the movie rights of The Red Notebookhave been sold to UGC.The book employed a relay narrative in which the hat changes the fortunes of those into whose hands it falls (a man punches above his weight at work; a woman leaves her married lover; a retired perfumer creates the perfect scent). The lyrics of Fionn Regan's 2006 song "Put A Penny in the Slot" mention Auster and his novella Timbuktu. Sales of his books across all formats in English have surpassed 180,000 copies, and The Red Notebook (2015) has become one of Gallic Books’ bestsellers both in the UK and the USA, and has been selected for HRH the Duchess of Cornwall’s Reading Room. With his curiosity piqued, he takes the bag home and picks through its “nooks and crannies” with forensic precision, a task he equates to “dissecting an octopus on a kitchen table”.

enjoy it for its fabulistic narrative, and the way it teeters pleasantly on the edge of Gallic whimsy. Cuántas cosas nos sentimos obligados a hacer por principios, por conveniencia o por educación, cosas que nos pesan y no cambian en absoluto el curso de los acontecimientos?

Laurent se había quedado en «el otro mundo», el de los encuentros por azar, las sonrisas en las terrazas de los cafés o las conversaciones que entablaba a propósito de algún libro. However, my flight was on the Friday and he was at work (in a restaurant) so I had the day to mooch around Paris alone. It's a short little book which can be ready in a day or two -- perfect for the beach or when you just want a "pick me up" or "palate cleanser" after a heavier book.
