Summary:
Almost a year into his recovery from a near-fatal illness, thirty-four-year-old novelist Sidney Orr enters a stationery shop in the Cobble Hill portion of Brooklyn and buys a blue notebook. It is Sept 18, 1982, as well as for the next nine times Orr will live under the spell of this blank book, stuck inside a globe of eerie premonitions and bewildering occasions that threaten to kill his relationship and undermine his trust in reality.
How come his wife all of a sudden break down in tears in the backseat about Oracle Night of a taxi just hours after Sidney starts composing in the laptop? Why does M.R. Chang, the owner of the stationery shop, precipitously shut down his business the very next day? What exactly are the cable connections between a 1938 Warsaw phone index and a lost novel where the hero can predict the near future? At what stage will animosity explode into violence? To what degree is forgiveness the best expression of love?
Paul Auster’s mesmerizing eleventh book reads like an old-fashioned ghost tale. But a couple of no ghosts in this book — only flesh-and-blood human beings, wandering through the haunted realms of everyday lifestyle. Simultaneously a deep breathing on the type of time and a trip through the labyrinth of 1 man’s imagination, Oracle Night is certainly a narrative tour de power that confirms Auster’s reputation among the boldest, most primary writers at the job in the us today.
