| description | The article is devoted to the final section of Paul Auster’s 2013 Report from the Interior. We first attempt to imagine the various ways readers integrate the “Album” of images into their experience of the book.

How do such non-personal, medium-quality images mediate memory? The article seeks, finally, to account by analogy for the elaboration and the esthetic effects of this trans-disciplinary work. |
