![“When the publisher here in America wanted to put the word "memoir" on the title page [of 'Winter Journal'] and on the cover, I said, "No, no, no, no, no, no." No genre whatsoever. It's an independent work not really connected to those things at all.” quote by Paul Auster](https://sms4smile.com/q/img-quotes/fb4/paul-auster-351_america_when-the-publisher-here-in-america-wante_256145.jpg)
