Oggi compie 75 anni uno degli scrittori e saggisti americani più noti: insieme a Don De Lillo e Thomas Pynchon ha influenzato più generazioni di scrittori, dal debutto folgorante della Trilogia di New York ad oggi. Sono decine i romanzi, i saggi, i drammi teatrali e i lavori per la radio e per il cinema usciti dalla sua penna. Ne parliamo con Andea Brondino, docente di Studi italiani alla Warwick University nel Regno Unito, che a Paul Auster ha dedicato un saggio pubblicato su Doppiozero.
