So begins Paul Auster's remarkable new 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 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. Filled with stories and characters, mystery and fraud, 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.

En bitvis trevlig och bitvis ganska tragisk historia. Intressanta karaktrer och bra ihopvvd historia. Rekommenderas.

Lttlst, rolig och bra sprk, men historien och personerna brast i trovrdighet ibland, vilket drog ner upplevelsen.

Helt underbar bok att lsa om man travat sig igenom lite Paul Auster sedan tidigare. Det r verkligen galenskaper i Brooklyn han beskriver, vilket persongalleri, den och ider och relationer dessa udda mnniskor har. Mnga roliga galna skratt under lsningen och mnga lite lngre funderingar kring livet. Rekommenderas starkt!
