Here and Now is a captivating collection of letters between two renowned literary giants, Paul Auster and Nobel laureate J. M. Coetzee. These two extraordinary writers have left an indelible mark on the world of literature, and their correspondence reveals a deep and insightful connection.
Although Auster and Coetzee had been familiar with each other's work for years, their paths had not crossed until February 2008. It was in this serendipitous encounter that Coetzee proposed a regular exchange of letters, hoping that their literary sparks would ignite and lead to a lasting friendship.
The result of this proposal is Here and Now, an epistolary dialogue that spans three years. In their letters, Auster and Coetzee explore a wide range of subjects, from sports to fatherhood, literature to film, philosophy to politics. Their correspondence touches upon the financial crisis, art, eroticism, marriage, friendship, and love, delving into the intricacies of human experience with wit, wisdom, and profound insight.
Through their letters, Auster and Coetzee reveal their mutual admiration, intellectual curiosity, and shared passion for literature. They challenge each other's ideas, offer critiques, and share personal anecdotes, creating a rich tapestry of literary discourse. Their friendship, forged through their letters, is a testament to the power of words and the enduring bond between two great writers.
Here and Now is a treasure trove for readers who appreciate the art of letter writing and the profound insights that can be gained through literary dialogue. It serves as a reminder of the importance of creativity, friendship, and the power of words to connect and inspire.
