Darling Brooklyn

Brooklyn Follies av Paul Auster.

Jag låter en kommentar på amazon förklara boken denna gång.
Nathan Glass, the narrator of the novel, is a retired insurance agent, recently divorced, and recently treated for cancer. As the book begins, Nathan has decided to move to Brooklyn, where his childhood roots lie, and while waiting for death or life, write a book of human follies. At this point in his life he really has no purpose and no meaningful connections, but that soon changes.

One by one, long lost family and new-found friends, interesting characters every one, filter into his life and lead him into a never ending round of emotional adventures. In a sense he begins to live, perhaps for the first time, and he begins to sense the possibility of real happiness. There isn't much more to say about the plot. Colorful characters commit enormous follies, have improbable adventures, and mostly come through smelling like roses.
