    Paul Austers største, mest hjerteskærende og overbevisende roman. En overvældende og overraskende fortælling om arv og miljø, om kærlighed og livet selv. Den 3. marts 1947 bliver Archibald Isaac Ferguson født på hospitalet i New Jersey. Fra det øjeblik han kommer til verden, tager familiens liv fire samtidige og uafhængige retninger. Hver af de fire versioner af Ferguson bliver tryllebundet af den skønne og mageløse Amy Schneiderman, og hver af de fire Ferguson'er får hver deres egen helt enestående relation til hende. Som læser følger man alle fire i medgang og modgang. Forskellige liv og dog det samme. Paul Austers roman 4 3 2 1 er intet mindre end et mesterværk.

    'It was the summer that men first walked on the moon. I was very young back then, but did not believe there would ever be a future. I wanted to live dangerously, to push myself as far as I could go, and then see what happened when I got there.'So begins the mesmerising narrative of Marco Stanley Fogg - orphan, child of the 1960s, a quester by nature. Moon Palace is his story - a novel that spans three generations, from the early years of this century to the first lunar landings, and moves from the canyons of Manhattan to the cruelly beautiful landscape of the American West. Filled with suspense, unlikely coincidences, wrenching tragedies and marvellous flights of lyricism and erudition, the novel carries the reader effortlessly along with Marco's search - for love, for his unknown father, and for the key to the elusive riddle of his origins and his fate. 'Clever: very. Surprising: always - Auster is a master.' The Times

    New York Trilogien er en samlet udgave af Paul Austers tre romaner By af glas, Genfærd og Det aflåste værelse, der udgør et tematisk katalog med New York som baggrund."New York var et uudtømmeligt rum, en labyrint af endeløse skridt, og uanset hvor langt han gik, uanset hvor fortrolig han blev med sit kvarter og dets gader, havde han altid fornemmelsen af at fare vild. Ikke blot fare vild i byen, men også i sig selv...".

    Hvor bogen "Vinternoter" handlede om Paul Austers fysiske omgivelser livet igennem, hans legemlige selv og de ting, dette selv har været udsat for og har oplevet, herunder de slag og fornøjelser kroppen har gennemlevet, følger Auster her op på vinternoterne med en bog, der beskæftiger sig med de mentale aspekter af selvet, de psykiske forhold i barndommen og ungdommen, der har formet forfatteren og gjort ham til den han er i dag. Auster går ganske konkret til værks når det gælder om at finde svarene på de helt universelle og alment menneskelige spørgsmål: Hvem er jeg? Og hvorfor? "I BEGYNDELSEN var alting levende. Selv de mindste genstande var udstyret med et hjerte, der slog, og selv skyerne havde navne. Sakse kunne gå, telefoner og tepotter var fætre og kusiner, øjne og briller var brødre. Urskiven var et menneskeansigt, hver en ært i skålen havde sin egen personlighed, og kølergitteret på dine forældres bil var en grinende mund med mange tænder. Kuglepenne var luftskibe. Mønter var flyvende tallerkener. Træernes grene var arme. Sten kunne tænke, og Gud var overalt … Hvem var du, lille mand? Hvordan blev du en person, der kunne tænke, og når du tænkte, hvor førte dine tanker dig så hen? Grav de gamle historier frem, led efter hvad du kan finde og hold så stumperne op mod lyset og se grundigt på dem. Gør det. Prøv at gøre det."

    'You think it will never happen to you, that it cannot happen to you, that you are the only person world to whom none of these things will ever happen, and then, one by one, they all begin to happen to you, in the same way they happen to everyone else.'In Winter Journal, Paul Auster moves through the events of his life in a series of memories grasped from the point of view of his life now: playing baseball as a teenager; participating in the anti-Vietnam demonstrations at Columbia University; seeking out prostitutes in Paris, almost killing his second wife and child in a car accident; falling in and out of live with his first wife; the 'scalding, epiphanic moment of clarity' in 1978 that set him on a new course as a writer.Winter Journal is a poignant memoir of ageing and memory, written with all the characteristic subtlety, imagination and insight that readers of Paul Auster have come to cherish.'An examination of the emotions of a man growing old . . . this book has much to recommend it, and Auster is unsparingly honest about himself.'

    Talking to Strangers is a freshly curated collection of prose, spanning fifty years of work and including famous as well as never-before-published early writings, from 2018 Man Booker Prize-finalist Paul Auster.Beginning with a short philosophical meditation written when he was twenty and concluding with nine political pieces that take on such issues as homelessness, 9/11, and the link between soccer and war, the 44 pieces gathered in this volume offer a wide-ranging view of celebrated novelist Paul Auster's thoughts on a multitude of classic and contemporary writers, the high-wire exploits of Philippe Petit, how to improve life in New York City (in collaboration with visual artist Sophie Calle), and the long road he has traveled with his beloved manual typewriter.While writing for the New York Review of Books and other publications in the mid-1970s, young poet Auster gained recognition as an astute literary critic with essays on Laura Riding, John Ashbery, Samuel Beckett, Franz Kafka, Paul Celan, and others. By the late seventies and early eighties, as the poet was transforming himself into a novelist, he maintained an active double life by continuing his work as a translator and editing the groundbreaking anthology, The Random House Book of Twentieth-Century Poetry. His prefaces to some of these books are included in Talking to Strangers, among them a heart-wrenching account of Stéphane Mallarmé's response to the death of his eight-year-old son, Anatole.In recent years, Auster has pushed on with explorations into the work of American artists spanning various periods and disciplines: the notebooks of Nathaniel Hawthorne, the films of Jim Jarmusch, the writings of painter-collagist-illustrator Joe Brainard, and the three-hit shutout thrown by journeyman right-hander Terry Leach of the Mets. Also included here are several rediscovered works that were originally delivered in public: a 1982 lecture on Edgar Allan Poe, a 1999 blast against New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani, and one of the funniest introductions a poetry reading ever heard in the state of New Jersey.A collection of soaring intelligence and deepest humanity, Talking to Strangers is an essential book by "the most distinguished American writer of [his] generation . . . indeed its only author . . . with any claim to greatness." (The Spectator)

    'By the time Nashe understood what was happening to him, he was past the point of wanting it to end . . .'Paul Auster fuses Samuel Beckett, Franz Kafka and The Brothers Grimm in this brilliant and unsettling parable. Following the death of his father, Jim Nashe takes to the open road in pursuit of a 'life of freedom'. But as the money runs out he finds that his sense of disillusionment has only been compounded by his year on the road. However, after picking up Pozzi, a hitchhiking gambler, Nashe finds himself drawn into a dangerous game of high-stakes poker with two eccentric and reclusive millionaires. 'A rare experience of contemporary fiction at its most thrilling.' New Statesman

    'I am alone in the dark, turning the world around in my head as I struggle through another bout of insomnia, another white night in the great American wilderness.' Seventy-two-year-old August Brill is recovering from a car accident in his daughter's house in Vermont. When sleep refuses to come, he lies in bed and tells himself stories, struggling to push back thoughts about things he would rather forget - his wife's recent death and the horrific murder, in Iraq, of his granddaughter's boyfriend, Titus. Brill, a retired book critic, imagines a parallel world in which America is not at war with Iraq but with itself. In this other America the Twin Towers did not fall on 9/11, and the 2000 election results led to secession, as state after state pulled away from the union and a bloody civil war ensued. As the night progresses, Brill's story grows increasingly intense, and what he is so desperately trying to avoid insists on being told. Joined in the early hours by his granddaughter, he gradually opens up to her and recounts another hidden story, this time of his own marriage. After she falls asleep, he at last finds the courage to revisit the trauma of Titus's death.Passionate and shocking, political and personal: Man in the Dark is a novel that reflects the consequences of 9/11, that forces us to confront the blackness of night even as it celebrates the existence of ordinary joys in a world capable of the most grotesque violence.

    Anne Blume leder efter sin forsvundne bror, William, der som journalist er ankommet til Ødelæggelsernes By.I denne Helvedes forgård dør indbyggerne, men erstattes lige så snart af nye folk, sultne og hjemløse, der strømmer ind fra landet blot for at tilslutte sig forskellige dødekulter som Springerne, Løberne eller Attentat-klubberne, hvor enhver kan dø på sin egen individuelle måde. I byens udkant stiger røgen fra krematorierne, kaldet Transformationscentre, mod himlen.I dette inferno, hvor størstedelen af indbyggerne lever på gaderne desperat lænkede til indkøbsvognene med deres få ejendele, møder Anna journalisten Samuel Farr, der ligeledes søger efter William. På trods af alt forelsker Anna og Samuel sig i hinanden.I det sidstes land er en mareridtsagtig fremtidsroman om Anna Blumes rejse til Ødelæggelsernes By, hvorfra ingen kommer tilbage, hvor døden hersker, og børn ikke lader sig føde. Et moderne forsøg på at beskrive helvede, der minder ikke så lidt om nogle af Vestens storbyer."Endnu en gang kan man om Paul Auster sige, at han har skrevet en af sin tids vigtigste amerikanske romaner."- Bo Green Jensen, Weekendavisen

    Chosen by Paul Auster out of the four thousand stories submitted to his radio programme on National Public Radio, these 180 stories provide a wonderful portrait of America in the twentieth century. The requirement for selection was that each of the stories should be true, and each of the writers should not have been previously published. The collection that has emerged provides a richly varied and authentic voice for the American people, whose lives, loves, griefs, regrets, joys and sense of humour are vividly and honestly recounted throughout, and adeptly organised by Auster into themed sections. The section composed of war stories stretches as far back as the Civil War, still the defining moment in American history; while the sequence of 'Meditations' conclude the volume with a true and abiding sense of transcendence. The resultant anthology is both an enduring hymn to the strange everyday of contemporary American life and a masterclass in the art of storytelling.

    Meet Mr Bones, the canine hero of Paul Auster's remarkable novel. Bones is the sidekick of Willy G. Christmas, a brilliant but troubled poet-saint from Brooklyn. Together they sally forth across America to Baltimore, Maryland, on one last great adventure, searching for Willy's old teacher, Bea Swanson. Years have passed since Willy last saw his beloved mentor, who used to know him as William Gurevitch, son of Polish war refugees. But is Mrs Swanson still alive? And if not, what will prevent Willy from vanishing into that other world known as Timbuktu? 'In this brilliant novel, Auster writes with economy, precision and the quirky pathos of noir, addressing the pernicious ubiquity of American consumerism, the nature of love and the core riddles of ontology. Above all, though, this is the affecting tale of a special dog's place in the universe of humans and in the fleeting life of a special man.' Publishers Weekly

    Paul Auster's Sunset Park is set in the sprawling flatlands of Florida, where twenty-eight-year-old Miles is photographing the last lingering traces of families who have abandoned their houses due to debt or foreclosure. Miles is haunted by guilt for having inadvertently caused the death of his step-brother, a situation that caused him to flee his father and step-mother in New York seven years ago.What keeps him in Florida is his relationship with a teenage high-school girl, Pilar, but when her family threatens to expose their relationship, Miles decides to protect Pilar by going back to Brooklyn, where he settles in a squat to prepare himself to face the inevitable confrontation with his father - a confrontation he has been avoiding for years.Set against the backdrop of the devastating global recession, and pulsing with the energy of Auster's previous novel Invisible, Sunset Park is as mythic as it is contemporary, as in love with baseball as it is with literature. It is above all, a story about love and forgiveness - not only among men and women, but also between fathers and sons.

    Sinuously constructed in four interlocking parts, Invisible 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 girlfriend 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, as it travels in time from 1967 to 2007 and moves from New York to Paris and to a remote Caribbean island in a story of unbridled sexual hunger and a relentless quest for justice.With uncompromising insight, Auster takes us to the shadowy borderland between truth and memory, authorship and identity to produce a work of unforgettable power that confirms his reputation as one of America's most spectacularly inventive writers.

    Oracle Night is a compulsively readable novel by 'one of the great writers of our time.' (San Francisco Chronicle).Several months into his recovery from a near-fatal illness, novelist Sidney Orr enters a stationery shop in Brooklyn and buys a blue notebook. It is September 18, 1982, and for the next nine days Orr will live under the spell of this blank book, trapped inside a world of eerie premonitions and bewildering events that threaten to destroy his marriage and undermine his faith in reality.If The New York Trilogy was Paul Auster's detective story, his mesmerizing eleventh novel reads like an old-fashioned ghost story. But there are no ghosts in this book - only flesh-and-blood human beings, wandering through the haunted realms of everyday life. Oracle Night is a narrative tour de force that confirms Auster's reputation as one of the boldest, most original writers at work in America today. 'His old-fashioned art of creating suspense . . . which rivals M. R. James or Conan Doyle. In fact, Oracle Night is best read as a post-modern ghost story.' The Guardian

    The Book of Illusions, written with breath-taking urgency and precision, plunges the reader into a universe in which the comic and the tragic, the real and the imagined, and the violent and the tender dissolve into one another. One man's obsession with the mysterious life of a silent film star takes him on a journey into a shadow-world of lies, illusions, and unexpected love. After losing his wife and young sons in a plane crash, Vermont professor David Zimmer spends his waking hours mired in grief. Then, watching television one night, he stumbles upon a lost film by silent comedian Hector Mann, and remembers how to laugh . . .Mann was a comic genius, in trademark white suit and fluttering black moustache. But one morning in 1929 he walked out of his house and was never heard from again. Zimmer's obsession with Mann drives him to publish a study of his work; whereupon he receives a letter postmarked New Mexico, supposedly written by Mann's wife, and inviting him to visit the great Mann himself. Can Hector Mann be alive? Zimmer cannot decide - until a strange woman appears on his doorstep and makes the decision for him, changing his life forever.'A nearly flawless work . . . Auster will be remembered as one of the great writers of our time.' San Francisco Chronicle 'Auster's elegant, finely calibrated The Book of Illusions is a haunting feat of intellectual gamesmanship.' TheNew York Times

    Romanen om Foggs tilværelse i en verden fyldt med gribende tilfældighed.Marco Stanley Fogg er forældreløs, tresserbarn, af natur en oplevelsesrejsende, åndelig såvel som legemelig. Moon Palace er hans historie, en roman som strækker sig over tre generationer, fra forrige århundredes begyndelse til de første månelandinger, og som bevæger sig fra Manhattans slugter til det vestlige Amerikas grusomt smukke landskaber. Romanen fører ubesværet læseren af sted med Marco i hans søgen efter kærlighed, efter den ukendte far og nøglen til hans oprindelse og skæbnens uhåndgribelige rødder.Moon Palace er fuld af spænding, usandsynlige sammentræf, hjerteskærende tragedier og vidunderlige lyriske passager. PRESSEN SKREV"Måske er MOON PALACE en af Paul Austers bedste romaner, fordi den både er vemodig, muntert henrykkende og uamerikansk...MOON PALACE er en kærlig og vildt fabulerende fortælling om det allermest luftige og ihærdigt opdageragtige i amerikansk mentalitet... MOON PALACE er især to ting. En medrivende fortælling og en original fornyelse af den gode gamle historie: Go West - og find dig selv." - Connie Bork i Politiken."Austers mænd lever efter john Wayne-modellen: "An man's gotta do what a man's gotta do." De er som semiotiske cowboys i det store amerikanske bibliotek. Man det helt fantastiske ved Moon Palace er netop også, at den både kan læses som en slags dannelsesroman - fuld af mystiske mænd, mord, vold, sindsyge, sex, prøvelser og pludselig rigdom - og som selv- og skriftbevidst, postmodernistisk tekst. Den er sprogligt rigere og episk fyldigere ende nogen af hans andre bøger, men er samtidig lige så diamantskarp og svimlende." - Henrik List i Berlingske Tidende.OM FORFATTERENPaul Benjamin Auster - forfatteren til New York-trilogien, Illusionernes bog, Moon Palace, Brooklyn dårskab, Tilfældets musik.
