Publisher’s Summary

Paul Auster’s most intimate autobiographical work to date. In the beginning, everything was alive. The smallest objects were endowed with beating hearts…

Having recalled his life through the story of his physical self in Winter Journal, internationally acclaimed novelist Paul Auster now remembers the experience of his development from within through the encounters of his interior self with the outer world in Report from the Interior.

From his baby’s-eye view of the man in the moon, to his childhood worship of the movie cowboy Buster Crabbe, to the composition of his first poem at the age of nine, to his dawning awareness of the injustices of American life, Report from the interior charts Auster’s moral, political, and intellectual journey as he inches his way toward adulthood through the postwar 1950s and into the turbulent 1960s. Auster evokes the sounds, smells, and tactile sensations that marked his early life - and the many images that came at him, including moving images (he adored cartoons, he was in love with films), until, at its unique climax, the audiobook breaks away from prose into pure imagery: The final section of Report from the Interior recapitulates the first three parts. At once a story of the times - which makes it everyone’s story - and the story of the emerging consciousness of a renowned literary artist, this four-part work answers the challenge of autobiography in ways rarely, if ever, seen before.

Paul Auster has admitted in interviews that in the past few years he has found it harder and harder to come up with ideas for novels. So given this lack of ideas for fiction he seems to be churning out non-fiction of late, ‘Winter Journal’ in August 2012 and just 9 months ago ‘Here and Now’, a collection of his not very interesting correspondence with novelist J.M. Coetzee. Now we have ‘Report from the Interior’. Where in ‘Winter Journal’ he examined his life through his physical self, he here examines his life through his interior life - his memories. For the most part I found the results lackluster. The first section of the book about his childhood, spent in middle class, suburban New Jersey is filled with memories of school, summer camp, school dances and girls, not any different from the memories of other suburban boys. Nothing makes this material rise about the ordinary, although there are occasional flashes of humor as when a family friend arrives with baseball legend Whitey… Read more 5.0 out of 5 stars One Writer’s Beginnings, February 4, 2014

While all of REPORT FROM THE INTERIOR is interesting, the first section is in a word simply brilliant as Paul Auster remembers the first years of his life. (The section ends with an event that happened when the writer was in seventh grade and he was born in 1947.) The opening paragraph is stunning and one I reread again and again: “In the beginning, everything was alive. The smallest objects were endowed with beating hearts and even the clouds had names. Scissors could walk, telephones and teapots were first cousins, eyes and eyeglasses were brothers. . . The branches of trees were arms. Stones could think, and God was everywhere.”

To those of us of his generation, Mr. Auster brings that time vividly back to our remembrance: the polio scare, the unsuccessful campaign of Stevenson for President in 1952, Hopalong Cassidy, the Long Ranger and Tonto, “The Twilight Zone” and literally dozens of other references to what was happening in the U. S. Mr. Auster cannot remember… Read more
