The book includes personal, never-before-seen writing by Auster--letters and notes to Siri and his last unfinished book addressed to his grandson, \u003ci\u003e Letters to Miles\u003c\/i\u003e. The memoir is both an elegy and a reckoning, a chronicle of personal loss that also bears witness to the sorrows of recent years--the tragic deaths of Hustvedt's stepson and granddaughter. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Hustvedt explores how grief unmoors time, how the intimacy of a shared life continues to mark the everyday, and how the body experiences the absence of love as a presence. 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.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 1668218941\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9781668218945\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Hustvedt, Siri\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover (May 2026)","offer_id":46081059487941,"sku":"9781668218945","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9781668218945.jpg?v=1776042801","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/ghost-stories-a-memoir","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
