Siri Hustvedt & Paul Auster Previously, Work in Progress brought you John Freeman’s conversations with Jeffrey Eugenides and Jonathan Franzen as exclusive previews of How to Read a Novelist, Freeman’s book of more than fifty author profiles. This week, to mark the publication of How to Read a Novelist (it's on-sale now!) and in anticipation of the November release of Paul Auster's Report from the Interior, we bring you a special bonus conversation that's not included in How to Read a Novelist: Freeman talking with Siri Hustvedt and Paul Auster in 2008, on the eve of the publications of Hustvedt's novel The Sorrows of an American and Auster's Man in the Dark.
