The Story of My Typewriter is a 2002 book, by Paul Auster, mostly with pictures by the painter Sam Messer. [1] It is about the author's old Olympia (de) typewriter. Auster bought the typewriter in 1974 from an old college friend who had owned it since 1962. Allegedly, everything Auster has written since has been typed on it.

Reception
