If you had to pick one writer to sum up the inventive spirit of the post-war transatlantic era, you could hardly do better than Paul Auster. Ever since he burst onto the scene with his New York Trilogy of interconnected novels, Auster has remained a major figure in world literature. He joins us for this keynote event to discuss his life and work, as part of a series celebrating Edinburgh's 70th anniversary as a festival city. This event is presented by the Edinburgh International Book Festival in partnership with the Edinburgh International Festival and the British Council.
