Paul Auster
"Becoming a writer is not a 'career decision' like becoming a doctor or a policeman. You don't choose it so much as get chosen, and once you accept the fact that you're not fit for anything else, you have to be prepared to walk a long, hard road for the rest of your days."

Paul Auster was born in Newark, New Jersey, on Febuary 3rd, 1947. He is the author of numerous novels, screenplays, and works of non-fiction. His other titles include poet, translator and film director. His latest novel "Travels in the Scriptorium" was published this year.
His last film project entitled "The Inner Life of Martin Frost" was filmed in Portugal in May 2006. In fact, this was not the first time that Portugal played a big role on his projects. In Oracle Night the plot starts when a man decides to buy a blue notebook made in Portugal. If you want to read his books, you can find them written in English or translated to Portuguese.
Paul Auster is one of my favourite writers because he is brilliant in exposing and exploring human fears and feelings. My favourite books are Moon Palace, The New York Trilogy and Timbuktu, although I’ve read almost all of his books.
