She reflects on the things and papers Auster left behind, the forty-three years they spent together, the rituals of mourning, and the nature of language, memory, and the self. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Part memoir, part philosophical inquiry, \u003ci\u003eGhost Stories\u003c\/i\u003e is unflinching, tender, and wise. It is a story of a woman haunting her own life, and the ghosts that inhabit us even as we carry on.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47812694933655,"sku":"9781668218945","price":1976.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781668218945.webp?v=1778330638","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/ghost-stories-a-memoir-9781668218945","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
