“One of America’s greatest novelists” dazzlingly
reinvents the coming-of-age story in his most passionate and
surprising book to date Sinuously 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.”
