Siri Hustvedt recalls her life with writer Paul Auster. In a description by Dwight Garner in the New York Times, Hustvedt is noted to be blond, while Auster is dark-haired, resembling photonegatives. Hustvedt is compared to a figure from Bergman films, and Auster is described as America’s Camus, characterized by his wary demeanor, heavy-lidded eyes, and cigarillo smoke, dressed in black Levi’s and sheepskin-lined leather jackets. Their combined influence is highlighted.
