At first her father died, then Donald Trump became president again: the singer Sophie Auster, daughter of Paul Auster and Siri Hustvedt, about survival in exceptional mental situations – and why art does not need any extremes.
At home at the oysters you take off your shoes, you can already see that in the entrance area of the Brownstone House in Brooklyn. Everything is clean and tidy, no trace of the fact that a much employed family of artists lives with a one -year -old child. The singer Sophie Auster, 37, daughter of the writer's couple Paul Auster and Siri Hustvedt, made it comfortable with a glass of tap water on the living room couch, a stack of books is obviously curated on the small side table. “Baumgartner”, the last novel of her father, who died in 2024, is also there. Auster talks about life and death, about her new album, which appears in April and about her protest song against Donald Trump.
