Elliott Bay Book Company presents

PAUL AUSTER in conversation with PAUL CONSTANT

Thursday, February 9 at 7:30 p.m. at Town Hall Seattle

 One of the major literary figures at work in the U.S., one who is read and known internationally as a novelist, memoirist, poet, and translator, Paul Auster makes this welcome Seattle return with what is possibly his greatest, most ambitious novel yet, 4 3 2 1 (Henry Holt). “Auster has been turning readers’ heads for three decades, bending the conventions of storytelling . . . . He now presents his most capacious, demanding, eventful, suspenseful, erotic, structurally audacious, funny, and soulful novel to date . . . [a] ravishing opus.”— Booklist.  “Almost everything about Auster's new novel is big. . . Satisfyingly rich in detail . . . . A significant and immersive entry to a genre that stretches back centuries and includes Augie March and Tristram Shandy.”—Publishers Weekly. That, just the beginning of the acclaim. Onstage with Paul Auster this evening will be Paul Constant of the Seattle Review of Books, who should help make this an even more enjoyably memorable evening. Tickets ($38 ticket includes a copy of 4 3 2 1  and admits one person / $42 ticket includes a copy of 4321 and admits two people. There will also be student/under 25 (with ID) admission of $5 at the door the night of the program. For more information, please see www.elliottbaybook.com, call 206.624.6600, or ask in the store.
