Synopsis

Paul Auster's explosively suspenseful tale from the author of contemporary classic The New York Trilogy: 'a literary voice for the ages' (Guardian)

'Six days ago, a man blew himself up by the side of a road in northern Wisconsin . . .'

The explosion that detonates the narrative of Paul Auster's thrilling novel also ends the life of its hero, Benjamin Sachs, and brings two FBI agents to the home of one of Sachs's oldest friends, the writer Peter Aaron. What follows is Aaron's story, an intricate, subtle and gripping investigation of another man's life in all its richness and complexity. Combining an investigation of freedom and terrorism with all the tension, mystery and allusive richness of Auster's classic fiction.
