Winter Journal is better




Paul Aster is also author of  the book Winter Journal. So I was curious to see what could have been left out in that book. And what is this Interior.
If you are such curious, the first half is good. It could have easily been Small Memories of Jose Saramago since its in the style of an old self looking at self when it was forming.
And then I dont get why two lengthy movie synopsys have to be in this book. And then a note about finding a diary and what follows is excerpts from that diary.
The first and latter parts are a good contrast of how the author is able to write experiences from memory better than trying to make sense of a world stashed in words and letters to others.

The author maintains his unique style of writing of his experiences in third person. I have a different background than the writer, so I enjoyed reading about his childhood. Minute things like his stringing some w's to make wwww was amusing.
