Existentialism and Baseball: The French Philosophical Roots of Paul Auster,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Paul Auster has been described as one the most European of American writers. A bestselling author in the U.S., he has become a cultural icon in France. Considering that his novels are almost exclusively set in America and regularly feature intertextual references to American Renaissance literature and Transcendentalism, what specifically is it about Auster?s work that allows us to qualify it as European or, more precisely, French? This book provides an answer by tracing the influence of French thought on the recurring themes of Paul Auster?s novels. Its principal focus is Auster?s narrativization of philosophical questions and concepts inherited from the 20thcentury French writers and thinkers he has translated. Tom Theobald illustrates how the key themes of Paul Auster?s work, such as chance, freedom, responsibility and the relationship between self and other, find their intellectual roots in Surrealism, in the existential phenomenology of JeanPaul Sartre, as well as in the literary philosophy of Maurice Blanchot. Theobald?s study is of particular interest to Auster scholars as well as anyone interested in the complex relationship between philosophy and literature.
