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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Siri Hustvedt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/05\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.32h x 6.27w x 0.84d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781668218945\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/23\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSiri Hustvedt is the author of a book of poetry, five collections of essays, two works of nonfiction, and seven novels, including the international bestsellers \u003ci\u003eWhat I Loved \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e The Summer Without Men\u003c\/i\u003e.
