  <about><![CDATA[After a year spent traveling in Europe, he enrolled at Columbia University and spent a year in Paris on an exchange. Returning to Columbia in 1968, he wrote articles and reviews while anti-Vietnam protests and riots raged around him. After publishing a crime novel pastiche, &lt;i&gt;Squeeze Play&lt;/i&gt;, written under the pseudonym Paul Benjamin (who would later appear as a blocked writer in his screenplay for the film &lt;i&gt;Smoke&lt;/i&gt;), Auster wrote his most celebrated work, &lt;i&gt;The New York Trilogy&lt;/i&gt; in 1987.
Paul Auster is the bestselling author of thirteen novels, including &lt;i&gt;Travels in the Scriptorium, The Brooklyn Follies, Oracle Night, The Book of Illusions&lt;/i&gt;, and &lt;i&gt;Timbuktu&lt;/i&gt;. His work has been translated into more than thirty languages. He lives in Brooklyn, NY.&quot;]]></about>    <gender>male</gender>  <hometown>Newark, New Jersey</hometown>  <born_at>02/03/1947</born_at>
