Synopsis

This astonishing and original work takes the familiar elements of detective fiction and twists them into something entirely new. As the search for clues unfolds, it leads to remarkable coincidences and a deeper look into what it means to be human. Paul Auster delivers modern fiction at its best: bold, arresting, and impossible to put down.
