Auggie Wren's Christmas Story

One of my all-time favourite Xmas stories: "Auggie Wren's Christmas Story" by Paul Auster.
Check: http://www.xtec.cat/~dsanz4/materiales/auggie_wren.pdf

The story also constitutes the first part of the closing chapter (5. Auggie) of the 1995 movie "Smoke", which I've embedded below.
The movie is directed by Wayne Wang and Paul Auster.
Writer: Paul Auster.
Leading roles in the scene: Harvey Keitel and William Hurt.

I hope you enjoy this great story-telling as much as I do.

I wish you all a fantastic Christmas and all the best for 2015!

Interview by Léa Touch Book

Further to the October 30th review of 'Out of Bounds'
(http://leatouchbook.blogspot.fr/2014/10/out-of-bounds-simon-duke.html),
Léa Touch Book has published our recent interview.


You can read it in full at: http://leatouchbook.blogspot.fr/2014/12/interview-simon-duke.html

It's in French and English. It's also mainly about 'Out of Bounds'. However, some insight into my new book, 'The Perfectionist', is provided.


Thank you Léa for your great work and for your support.
