In the invention of solitude p. auster mentions pinocchio. He says that when Pinocchio recovered there was darkness everywhere, a darkness "so deep and so black that for a moment he thought he had been dipped head first into an inkwell." but in the actual book (pinocchio) Collodi says that he thought he had dipped his head into a squid full of ink".
A friend is trying to find out why auster may have changed the story turning an squid full of ink into an inkwell.
Any help would be much appreciated.
thanks

maybe because Solitude is about the writing process. since the part about Pinnochio is a metaphor for the writer's solitude and creative process ("it is in this darkness... that the essentia creative act of the book takes place" )he uses an inkwell instead of a squid. Just as Pinnochio is dipped into the darkness (and creates himself), so Collodi dips his pen into the inwell and creates his work (which is also a way of creating himself).
