R.I.P. Paul Auster. "If nothing else, the years have taught me this: if there’s a pencil in your pocket, there’s a good chance that one day you’ll feel tempted to start using it." In a piece from 1995, Auster answers the question "why write?" newyorker.com/magazine/1995/…

“Why Write?,” by Paul Auster

From 1995, the author answers the age-old question in a series of five subjects: a film, a fall, a storm, a note, and a game.

The days were quiet. They did not feel particularly quiet or happy but through them ran the sense, like an underground river, that there would come a time when these days would be looked back on as happiness, all that life could give of contentment and peace. John McGahern
