Granta’s new issue, Granta 106: ‘Fiction Special’, includes ‘Invisible’, an extract from Paul Auster’s forthcoming novel of the same name. Auster is an internationally acclaimed author of more than twenty books of fiction, non-fiction and poetry. He is also a frequent Granta contributor – ‘Invisible’ marks the eighth appearance of his work in the magazine. In this exclusive Granta interview, he talks about the emotional intimacy and intertextual exercises of his fiction, the ‘intensity of youth’, the unsettling quality of narrative clarity and his writing process.
