The world of the novels of Paul Auster or Austerland as Erica Wagner writing in The Times calls it, is a strange one, “a place of strange rich coincidences where objects assume talismanic significance.” With a new novel Invisible out this week in the UK, described by Donald Morrison in the FT as one in which  “Auster conjures full-blooded characters he has not used before, a freight train of a storyline, and just enough structural tricks to remind you who the author is,” Auster spoke to Wagner about his new book and his love for mixing the real and imagined.
