Report from the Interior

New York, Henry Holt & Company, 2013. First Edition. Hardcover. Size: 8vo 8" - 9" tall. Superior copy, gift-quality condition, inside and out, no discernible wear, bright and shiny dust jacket. In this memoir he "remembers his development from within, through the encounters of his interior self with the outer world. From his baby's-eye view of the man in the moon to his dawning awareness of the injustices in American life, Auster charts his intellectual, political, and moral journey as he inches his way toward adulthood from the postwar fifties and into the turbulent 1960s. He then recapitulates that journey through an album of pictures, answering the challenge of autobiography in ways rarely, if ever, seen before." 341 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . .
