9moDoes Paul Auster emphasize the importance of spending time alone to enhance creativity in his writing? At the same time, doesn't he warn us against becoming too immersed in solitude and fear losing touch with reality? Yes, solitude facilitates introspection and shapes one's sense of self as characters confront existential questions and try to find their place in the world. Auster's exploration of solitude is far from simplistic, and invites readers to engage critically with his work towards challenging them to deepen their understanding of his literary oeuvre.
