Beskrivelse
A deeply personal memoir by Siri Hustvedt, reflecting on her 43 years with her husband, Paul Auster, from their meeting in 1980s New York to his passing in 2024. This book offers an intimate look at love, memory, and grief.
A heartfelt exploration of enduring love and loss through a unique blend of memories and writings.
Ghost Stories is Siri Hustvedt’s most intimate work to date, written in the wake of her husband Paul Auster’s death. It weaves together over four decades of their shared life through a rich tapestry of journal entries, emails, notes, and love letters. The memoir includes Siri’s reflections from November 2023, when Paul first fell ill, through to May 2024, the day of his funeral.
The book also features Paul Auster’s final piece of writing, the opening thirty-five pages of a planned book of letters to their grandson, Miles, born in January 2024. These pages are not just an add-on but an essential part of the narrative, highlighting the deep connection and ongoing dialogue between the two authors.
Through this patchwork of personal documents, Ghost Stories captures the profound impact of grief on time and the lasting marks left by a life shared. It’s a moving tribute to a love that endured for more than four decades and the ways in which intimacy continues to shape everyday existence.
