Paul Auster

A Novel

The Brooklyn Follies

El párrafo final me dejó en puro shock. Más allá de eso, me gusta mucho el estilo narrativo del autor, la forma en la que se va sucediendo de acontecimiento en acontecimiento, presentándonos a los personajes e hilándonos entre sí. Juega muy bien con el ritmo de la novela, manteniéndola siempre interesante. Para mi lo mejor es sin duda, más allá de los hechos que se suceden a lo largo de la novela, la forma en la que se expresa Auster.

Only dimly recall this. More funny than deep? More edgy than literary?

Retired life insurance salesman Nathan Glass moves to Brooklyn to find anonymity and solitude through his declining years, but a chance meeting with Tom Wood, his long-lost nephew, forces him to come to terms with his past.

A wonderful read that left a smile on my face. I love all the characters and their bold personalities. I am sold! Nathan Glass is such a great insurance salesman.

'I was looking for a quiet place to die. Someone recommended Brooklyn, and so the next morning I travelled down there from Westchester to scope out the terrain . . .'So begins Paul Auster's remarkable novel, The Brooklyn Follies. 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, indeed, from life in general. Having accidentally ended up in the same Brooklyn neighbourhood, they discover a community teeming with life and passion. When Lucy, a little girl who refuses to speak, comes into their lives, there is suddenly a bridge from their pasts that offers them the possibility of redemption.

When Lucy, a little girl who refuses to speak, comes into their lives, there is suddenly a bridge from their pasts that offers them the possibility of redemption. Infused with character, mystery and humour, these lives intertwine and become bound together as Auster brilliantly explores the wider terrain of contemporary America - a crucible of broken dreams and of human folly.
