A Maiden Voyage

For your reading pleasure, I present the first newspaper piece that I've had published in the United States -- a profile on Paul Auster in The New York Sun. I doubt that anyone reading this blog would have stumbled upon it. Who reads the The New York Sun anyway, right? ~Enjoy!

Auster's wife, the author Siri Hustvedt, shared an incredibly grounding piece of wisdom when I interviewed her last year for Harper's Bazaar. I asked what advice she has for their daughter Sophie, 19, who stands on the brink of stardom. Hustvedt, who found fame later in life than her daughter (at 35), said:

"If she can remember that the work and the response to the work are two different things, she'll be fine."
