Paul Auster's Sunset Park is set in the sprawling flatlands of
Florida, where twenty-eight-year-old Miles is photographing the
last lingering traces of families who have abandoned their houses
due to debt or foreclosure. Miles is haunted by guilt for having
inadvertently caused the death of his step-brother, a situation
that caused him to flee his father and step-mother in New York
seven years ago. What keeps him in Florida is his relationship with
a teenage high-school girl, Pilar, but when her family threatens to
expose their relationship, Miles decides to protect Pilar by going
back to Brooklyn, where he settles in a squat to prepare himself to
face the inevitable confrontation with his father - a confrontation
he has been avoiding for years. Set against the backdrop of the
devastating global recession, and pulsing with the energy of
Auster's previous novel Invisible, Sunset Park is as mythic as it
is contemporary, as in love with baseball as it is with literature.
It is above all, a story about love and forgiveness - not only
among men and women, but also between fathers and sons.
