The Invention of Solitude by Paul Auster
"The Invention of Solitude" is a deeply personal and introspective memoir split into two parts, where the author grapples with the concepts of identity, memory, and solitude. The first part focuses on the author's reflections and memories of his late father, while the second part delves into the author's own experience of fatherhood, his life, and his thoughts. The book explores themes of existentialism, the nature of writing, and the complex dynamics of parent-child relationships.
