The typewriter is a manual Olympia SM 9, more than 25 years old, and has been the agent of transmission for the novels, stories, collaborations, and other writings Auster has produced since the 1970s, a body of work that stands as one of the most varied, creative, and critcally acclaimed in recent American letters. It is also the story of a relationship. A relationship between Auster, his typewriter, and the artist Sam Messer, who, as Auster writes, "has turned an inanimate object into a being with a personality and a presence in the world." This is also a collaboration: Auster's story of his typewriter, and of Messer's welcome, though somewhat unsettling, intervention into that story, illustrated with Messer's muscular, obsessive drawings and paintings of both author and machine. This is, finally, a beautiful object; one that will be irresistible to lovers of Auster's writing, Messer's painting, and fine books in general. 49433 13 9 2002 The Story of My Typewriter total:41|5:6|4:10|3:22|2:3|1:0| 41 142 72 5 4 0 false false Fri Feb 27 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 24 09:53:49 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 27 17:45:57 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Jan 26 11:02:30 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 26 12:07:01 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 26 11:02:30 -0800 2009 1
