In \u003ci\u003eBeyond the Red Notebook\u003c\/i\u003e, the first book devoted to the works of Auster, Dennis Barone has assembled an international group of scholars who present twelve essays that provide a rich and insightful examination of Auster's writings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe authors explore connections between Auster's poetry and fiction, the philosophical underpinnings of his writing, its relation to detective fiction, and its unique embodiment of the postmodern sublime.
