Sweet music of chance
Article Abstract:
Author, Paul Auster, is a cult writer and a celebrity whose works include 'The Art of Hunger'. His work did not appear until he was in his 40s, and he has genuine humility. He writes about cityscapes and the vast spaces in the US. He is a gambler and this affected the love affair that led to his marriage, as well as to the decision to direct a motion picture. He often argues that he starts books without knowing the direction that they will take him. He portrays both magic and despair, as well as joy that can flow from nothingness.

A screen star named desire
Article Abstract:
Novelist Russell Hoban is very dismissive about what most authors say about their work. He is aware that he takes risks as a writer, but cannot stop himself doing so. He regards himself as a painstaking writer, constantly amending his work until he is completely satisfied with it. He feels that he has worked very hard at life, and therefore does not fear death. He feels closest to his second novel, 'Kleinzeit,' in which he uses his Jewish voice for the first time.
