Paul Auster contributed to several literary anthologies over his career. These range from the literary journal Granta to collections responding to national events and political causes.
His anthology appearances include Granta 58: Ambition (1997), PEN America Issue 1: Classics (2000), and 110 Stories (2004), a collection of literary responses to the September 11 attacks. The Future Dictionary of America (2004) was a satirical project in which writers invented new words, with proceeds going to political organizations. Central Park: An Anthology (2012) gathers writing about New York’s most famous green space, a fitting home for an author whose work is so deeply tied to the city.
