32:44Now PlayingBest-selling author Paul Auster, whose novels addressed existential questions of identity, language, and literature and created mysteries that raised more questions than they answered, died earlier this week. He was 77.
In memoriam, we're revisiting a 2002 interview with Auster, in which he discusses his novels "The Book of Illusions" and "I Thought My Father Was God."
This interview originally aired September 10, 2002.
