«El conte de Nadal de l'Auggie Wren» is Paul Auster's Christmas story, published by Diputació de Barcelona in hardcover (58 pages, in Catalan).
A writer who must deliver a Christmas story to the New York Times confesses to his friend Auggie Wren, owner of a tobacco shop, that he doesn't know how to tell it without sentimentality. Auggie offers him a Christmas story and assures him it's true: a lost wallet, a blind woman, and a Christmas dinner call into question what it means to give, steal, lie, and tell the truth.
The story first appeared on December 25, 1990, in The New York Times, under the original title «Auggie Wren's Christmas Story».
The book is a Catalan edition for Paul Auster readers and for those seeking a Christmas story far from sentimentality.
