One of America´s greatest novelists dazzlingly reinvents the coming-of-age
story in his most passionate and surprising book to dateSinuously
constructed in four interlocking parts, Paul Auster´s fifteenth novel opens in
New York City in the spring of 1967, when twenty-year-old Adam Walker, an
aspiring poet and student at Columbia University, meets the enigmatic Frenchman
Rudolf Born and his silent and seductive girfriend, Margot. Before long, Walker
finds himself caught in a perverse triangle that leads to a sudden, shocking
act of violence that will alter the course of his life.Three different
narrators tell the story of Invisible, a novel that travels in time from 1967
to 2007 and moves from Morningside Heights, to the Left Bank of Paris, to a
remote island in the Caribbean. It is a book of youthful rage, unbridled sexual
hunger, and a relentless quest for justice. With uncompromising insight, Auster
takes us into the shadowy borderland between truth and memory, between
authorship and identity, to produce a work of unforgettable power that confirms
his reputation as one of America´s most spectacularly inventive writers.
