We are on our way to summer.
Which means that we are also just about as far away from Christmas as you can get on the calendar.
But with the death of writer Paul Auster last week, regardless the season, now is the time for one great Christmas story.
Augie Wren's Christmas story:
____
The story was first published on the New York Times OpEd page on December 25, 1990...My copy, which like the story itself and Augie Wren's camera, is not my own. It actually belongs to our oldest kid and was published by Henry Holt and Company in 2004...I gave it to her that very Christmas...How do I know this?...Because the inscription says it's so.

If you prefer, you can listen to and watch Harvey Keitel, playing Mr. Wren in the movie tell the story to William Hurt...here.
