The American author Siri Hustvedt is writing a book about her husband, author Paul Auster. Just a few days after his funeral on May 3, she began writing, she tells in an interview conducted by German Zeit Online.

I started writing about him and me, about us, she says to The Guardian.

Hustvedt explains that death triggers an author to start writing, but that it is something entirely different from talking to someone personally.

It's something about this empty space that creates an intimacy that doesn't exist in dialogue with a living person, she says.

Hustvedt has written 120 pages of the book, which currently has the title "Ghost stories". She hopes to finish writing in the beginning of next year.

Paul Auster died on April 30 this year due to lung cancer.
