Through Tom and Harry, Nathan's world gradually broadens to include a new set of acquaintances - not to mention a stray relative or two - and leads him to a reckoning with his past.
Among the many twists in the delicious plot are a scam involving a forgery of the first page of The Scarlet Letter, a disturbing revelation that takes place in a sperm bank, and an impossible, utopian dream of a rural refuge. Meanwhile, the wry and acerbic Nathan has undertaken something he calls The Book of Human Folly, in which he proposes "to set down in the simplest, clearest language possible an account of every blunder, every pratfall, every embarrassment, every idiocy, every foible, and every inane act I had committed during my long and checkered career as a man." But life takes over instead, and Nathan's despair is swept away as he finds himself more and more implicated in the joys and sorrows of others.

Un roman de Paul Auster que j'ai beaucoup aimé. Pour notre rencontre de décembre.

J'ai découvert Paul Auster avec ce roman lu en français il y a quelques années..
Excellent souvenir de lecture.
une idée de libération prochaine pour celui-ci.

Sera accroché quelque part sur le domaine des 3Vallées.
Bonne lecture à qui l'emportera pour le faire voyager 😀
