As an experimental writer, Auster d deconstructs well-established rules within conventional genre. Contending with literary tradition, Paul Auster himself adopts a playful approach in writing. In this thesis, in dealing with his self-questioning text, Auster creates a new form in the authorial engagement of play. In the subject matter of his novels, Auster combines his “world” with his “word” in the same concurrent. My thesis is concerned about Auster’s writing and life—the process in which human beings try to get inside the truth of the lives and themselves. Further, I wish to offer a study from the perspective of deconstruction to analyze Auster’s works, including his biography, The Invention of Solitude, and two novels, Oracle Night and The Locked Room.
