walkwhilereading: Paul Auster talks to Erica Wagner of the TIMESONLINE about his upcoming novel Invisible, amongst other things. Favorite quote in the article: “People go to the movies or watch TV for the same reason. But then there are people who are interested in art. And it’s not just novels and poetry but painting, music — the whole history of art and literature. Those people read books in a much larger context than the people who just pluck a popular novel off the shelf and plunge in for a few hours of entertainment.” Oh, Paul Auster, you take fatuousness to a new heights. Also, I think you’re a mediocre writer. So there.
