Smoke tells the story of Paul Benjamin, a novelist suffering from
writer's block - as well as the death of his wife - who comes into
contact with a young black kid who shakes Benjamin out of his
lethargy and inspires him to begin writing again. It's a story of
stealing and giving, lying and telling the truth, in which stealing
turns out to be giving and lying turns out to be the truth.
The action of Smoke takes place in Auggie Wren's cigar shop,
and this location also provides the focal point for Blue in the Face,
which was improvised by the actors of Smoke after shooting was

engine is words, and whose guiding principle is spontaneity.
This edition also contains Auster's short story, Auggie Wrens
