Paul Auster on Poe, Pynchon, and 'Boy Writers'

[Joseph Tracy]

Agree with Anne Margaret Daniel. Auster can't think of women writers who write good sentences and make things up or are important grown up writers, really?  Having read some Auster I would far rather read Margaret Atwood or Barbara Kingsolver for sheer creativity and beautiful craftsmanship than him.  Still Auster may be on to something in terms of a kind of inner freedom that has traditionally been given to males and is now, with powerful resistance, being seized and occupied by women and in more cases given as their rightful heritage.
