Abstract

This article is a picture of Paul Auster, whose writings blend absurdism, existentialism and crime fiction. Influenced by Samuel Beckett and by the main aspects of postmodernism, he pushes language to its breaking point, in a new vision of reality grounded on violence and uncomunicability. The paper explores the connections of his main novels - The Invention of Solitude, The New York Trilogy, In the Country of Last Things-, to concepts such as the problems of authorship, multiple human identities, the meaningless of word.
