Auster on Poe: A Conversation with Paul Auster and Isaac Gewirtz

Berg Collection of English and American Literature, NYPL, and Poe exhibition co-curator, about his life spent reading and rereading the works of Edgar Allan Poe. Auster’s first book purchase, at the age of nine, was a Modern Library edition of Poe’s poems and stories, and his engagement with Poe has been consistent ever since. Auster will discuss Poe’s influence on his own writing, and will revisit a lecture delivered on Poe three decades ago, currently housed with his papers in Berg collection. Co-presented by the Morgan and LIVE from the NYPL. The exhibition Edgar Allan Poe: Terror of the Soul will be open at 6 pm for program attendees.
