'I was looking for a quiet place to die. Someone recommended
Brooklyn, and so the next morning I travelled down there from
Westchester to scope out the terrain . . .' So begins Paul Auster's
remarkable new novel, The Brooklyn Follies. Set against the
backdrop of the contested US election of 2000, it tells the story
of Nathan and Tom, an uncle and nephew double-act. One in remission
from lung cancer, divorced, and estranged from his only daughter,
the other hiding away from his once-promising academic career, and,
indeed, from life in general. Having accidentally ended up in the
same Brooklyn neighbourhood, they discover a community teeming with
life and passion. When Lucy, a little girl who refuses to speak,
comes into their lives, there is suddenly a bridge from their pasts
that offers them the possibility of redemption. Infused with
character, mystery and humour, these lives intertwine and become
bound together as Auster brilliantly explores the wider terrain of
contemporary America - a crucible of broken dreams and of human
folly. 'Auster at the top of his game. This superb novel about
human folly turns out to be tremendously wise.' New Statesman
