The Paul Auster Society

The Paul Auster Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to the global study of the oeuvre of Paul Auster. This articulate multi-form collection of verbal and visual material has enchanted readers and challenged scholars around the world for over four decades, often beyond literary studies. For this reason, the Society approaches Auster’s novels, short stories, non-fiction, poems, films, essays, autobiographical and biographical works and translations as participants in a broader ethics of public engagement and cultural advocacy, which can provoke discussion on important contemporary concerns. 

Through annual meetings at the ALA, BAAS, through workshops and seminars, and through its engagement with the Paul Auster Library , the Paul Auster Society encourages communication among scholars and the general public by expanding the possibilities for shared responses to Auster’s work.
