Nicole Krauss at Talking Volumes - Minneapolis Star Tribune (blog) - Claude Peck - ‎

Nicole Krauss signed books Oct. 28 at the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul. Softspoken but eloquent novelist Nicole Krauss talked about books, including her own new novel, at a Talking Volumes event at the Fitzgerald Theater Thursday night. Krauss, whose third novel "Great House," has been named a fiction finalist by the National Book Award, said that the book grew from a short story she wrote a couple of years ago. Her writing does not depend on an outline, she said, and she has little idea at the outset where the novel will end up. "I make the doorknob first, then the door, and the room," she said in describing her writing process. "Only much later do you step back and see the whole house."

Review of 'Great House,' a novel by Nicole Krauss - By Sharyn Vane SPECIAL TO THE AMERICAN-STATESMAN

"Great House," Krauss' haunting new novel, investigates the dark side of that sweetness. Memories in "Great House" are painful things to be excavated at one's peril, full of loss and missed opportunities. Yet Krauss' writing is so rich and poetic that what could be a maudlin and convoluted story waxes transcendent. Krauss has carved out a bold-faced literary name for herself since her debut. A scant two weeks after its release this month , "Great House" was named a finalist for a National Book Award. Krauss also collected scores of prizes for her best-selling second book, "The History of Love," in 2005, and this year The New Yorker magazine named her one of the 20 best writers under 40 in its summer-fiction issue. Her talent lies in the keenly observed inner lives of her characters, giving us a window into their disappointments and yearnings.
