Winter Journal
Opis
In "Winter Journal", Auster presents the abandonment of the family by his
father from his mother's point of view: her struggle as a single mother;
love found again late in life, a love that was short-lived; her troubled
later years and, finally, her death - and the subsequent anxiety attacks
Auster suffered in the face of her death. In "Winter Journal" Auster moves
through the events of his life in a random series of memories grasped from
the point of view of his life now: playing baseball as a teenager;
participating in the anti-Vietnam demonstrations at Columbia University;
seeking out prostitutes in Paris, almost killing his second wife and child
in a car accident; falling in and out of live with his first wife.
