Fiction
Luminous, passionate, expansive, an emotional tour de
force Sunset Park follows the hopes and
fears of a cast of unforgettable characters brought together
by the mysterious Miles Heller during the dark months of the
2008 economic collapse. An enigmatic young man
employed as a trash-out worker in southern Florida
obsessively photographing thousands of abandoned objects
left behind by the evicted families. A group of young
people squatting in an apartment in Sunset Park,
Brooklyn. The Hospital for Broken Things, which
specializes in repairing the artifacts of a vanished
world. William Wyler's 1946 classic The Best Years
of Our Lives. A celebrated actress preparing to
return to Broadway. An independent publisher
desperately trying to save his business and his
marriage. These are just some of the elements Auster
magically weaves together in this immensely moving novel
about contemporary America and its ghosts. Sunset
Park is a surprising departure that confirms Paul Auster
as one of our greatest living writers.
