This truly unique book is the second collaboration between celebrated writer Paul Auster and artist/printmaker Glenn Thomas and features a story within a story from Auster's The Book of Illusions, called The Inner Life of Martin Frost. This book is produced with fold-out pages featuring Thomas's screen prints alongside the text of Auster and is packaged in a box. Auster and Thomas first collaborated in 2002. Thomas showed Auster some of his work and suggested a graphic arts project that would combine an Auster text with a series of drawings. Auster liked the idea and asked Thomas to choose one of his texts. A text was selected from The New York Trilogy”City of Glass, a very moving and intense section, which Thomas called The Peter Stillman Monologue. In December of 2003, a limited edition linen portfolio was printed that contained 8 twocolor silkscreen prints plus a signed colophon. Both Auster and Thomas were so pleased with the results that they decided to do a second project, the result of which is The I er Life of Martin Frost. This is a Rozenberg Title.

Auster fue mi amor platónico de la adolescencia y de vez en cuando me gusta regresar a él.

Todavía no había leído este guión cinematográfico y me ha sorprendido la originalidad de Auster a la hora de crear una relación entre la realidad y la ficción.

Recomendable para los seguidores de Auster y para aquellos que disfruten leyendo un buen guión cinematográfico.

i hate to admit it, but this was lame. I love Auster and most of his work, but this one didn't cut it. I don't know if the film would be any better, but I don't see how. There is no substance to it. Nothing is pulling me in. Sorry Paul.

Guión de la película que contiene una entrevista a manera de prólogo. La historia trata de un escritor que va a la casa desocupada de uno de sus amigos a terminar de escribir su última novela, en eso llega una joven estudiante universitaria, amiga de los dueños, que había quedado en ocupar la casa para estudiar. Entre ellos surge una historia de romance con un giro al final.

Curiosamente aunque el guión había sido concebido como una historia softcore, no la encuentro nada vulgar y es más bien enternecedora, un romance sincero y bien escrito, las indicaciones en el guión hacen que sea bastante creíble.

Está es la única película del autor que el visto y me pareció buena también, si te interesan los romances apasionado s y poco recomendables te recomiendo este libro.
