Summary
Set against the backdrop of the contested US election of 2000, it tells the story of Nathan and Tom, an uncle and nephew double-act. One in remission from lung cancer, divorced, and estranged from his only daughter, the other hiding away from his once-promising academic career, and life in general. Having accidentally ended up in the same Brooklyn neighbourhood, they discover a community teeming with life and passion. When Lucy, the little girl who refuses to speak, comes into their lives there is suddenly a bridge from their pasts that may offer them the possibility of redemption. "Auster's prose is sharp, simple, compelling." - Guardian. "Auster's graceful, storytelling carries readers along." - Publishers Weekly. "A classical work of American Literature." - San Francisco Chronicle.
