Bestselling novelist Paul Auster, author of The New York Trilogy, dies at 77
Briefly

"Auster will be remembered for being one of the leading figures in a post-modern tradition that's reimagining how central language is, and how central writing is, and how central above all storytelling is."
"Someone filled with a kind of idealistic hope about what could be done about the future of the country and the world, who saw all these dreams bit by bit be dismantled by subsequent political events."
"I think he was a really exciting and compelling voice of his generation," says Alys Moody, a professor who teaches postwar American literature.
