Descrizione
Here and Now
is a collection of letters between Paul Auster and Nobel laureate J. M. Coetzee, two of the greatest writers of our time.
'Uniquely insightful.' Independent
'Extraordinary.' Times Literary Supplement
Although Paul Auster and J. M. Coetzee had been reading each other's books for years, the two writers did not meet until February 2008. Not long after, Auster received a letter from Coetzee, suggesting they begin exchanging letters on a regular basis and, 'God willing, strike sparks off each other'.
Here and Now is the result of that proposal: an epistolary dialogue between two great writers who became great friends. Over three years their letters touched on nearly every subject, from sports to fatherhood, literature to film, philosophy to politics, from the financial crisis to art, eroticism, marriage, friendship, and love.
