It's been reprinted in "Hand to Mouth. A Chronicle of Early
Failure", Auster's autobiography, alongside with Auster's
attempt to invent a new card game, with the rules of
baseball. Or something like that: I've never tried to make
sense out of it.
By the way, the writer in "Smoke", the movie written by
Auster, is called Paul Benjamin. And the Bronson guy in
"Death Wish" is Paul Benjamin! Any more coincidences..?
