Paul Auster VS Stephen King


Paul Auster in the book "Hand to mouth" shows some struggles he had in life, some story that influenced his life as a writer and that for always he will remember. The he shows his point of view about the money, how the people give value to some paper. He express many of his ideas talking about a man he knew that want to create an economic revolution, trying to stop the idea that money is the most important thing. This man gave all his money to the world and how he lived without money. Auster lived with him and appreciated all he does. 

Then according to this, what Auster writes it’s about his own life experiences. He writes about concepts that he believes that are important for people to understand, such as the existentialism of the money. Also writes about cotidian life.

Meanwhile, Stephen King writes also talks about his own life experiences but he represent his writings with fiction; he wanted to transform reality into fiction. He also adds the terror inside many of his stories, he wants to play with people fear and try to use it in his writings. He also takes part of history and makes his stories.

 The difference between Auster and King is that Auster talks more about reality and existence meanwhile King uses the reality and transform it into fiction. The big relation between this two is that they both write about the life experiences.
