THE EXPERIENCE OF LIFE OF THE ORDINARY SUBJECT AND THE ETHOS OF THE WRITER IN TEXTUAL SPACIALITY: the autobiographical narrative in the literature of Paul Auster

View document

Bibliographic Details
Summary:It is concentrated in the examination of the enunciative engendering used by the American writer Paul Auster in The New York Trilogy (1987) and in The Brooklyn Follies (2005). In the cited narratives, it was observed some complex relations, since the empirical author himself appears as character, explicitly and implicitly, by spraying the wording accounts on his life through the texts, moving autobiographically. Auster also exposes events experienced by other writers as “real people”. Thus, in addition to the authority of the name that appears on the covers of books and facts that crowd the authorized biographies, Auster searches for facts “truly” lived, illustrating the most of the humanity of the artists he admires and whose experiences have provided his own subjectivity and his artistical identity.
