Paul Auster in conversation with Don DeLillo

Whether his writing sways political or social, minute or epic, DeLillo rarely fails to hit his targets. His latest short-story collection, The Angel Esmeralda, displays some of his great range from the past 30 years. Auster returns to the sort of unconventional memoir that got him noticed in the early ’80s (e.g., The Invention of Solitude) in his new book, Winter Journal. Tonight, the two great literary minds converse about their art.
