Paul Auster is often described as the plus francais des auteurs américains (the Frenchiest American writer!) in the French press, which may explain for the campaign…
X: Oui, je sais, je sais. C'est pourquoi j'ai ecrit que cette affiche etait vraiment parisienne!
There was a rather scathing, sarcastic critique of Aster in a New Yorker a few weeks or months back. Just thought I'd mention.
Yes, but France goes beyond Paris :-) … you should know that now.
I would like to submit that this would not surprise me in any major German city, either. I came to the US with the idea of Auster as one of the most prominent living US writers (about even – though probably slightly better known than – Roth) – because that's pretty much how it looks when you look at US books in Germany – and I was shocked to learn that even some of my well-read and educated US grad-school friends hadn't even heard of him
I've seen one here in the SF Bay Area. Can't remember where, but it wasn't in a bookstore.
I saw an advert for Paul Auster's new book at the cinema today. I've never seen a book advertised at the cinema before. Even more surprisingly, the ad came on just before Le Choc des Titans (Clash of the Titans), which is hardly a literary film.
This makes me laugh!
