LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2017
On March 3rd, 1947, Archibald Isaac Ferguson, the only child of Rose and Stanley Ferguson, is born. From that single beginning, Ferguson's life will take four simultaneous paths. Four Fergusons will go on to lead four parallel and entirely different lives. Family fortunes diverge. Loves and friendships and passions contrast. Each version of Ferguson's story rushes across the fractured terrain of mid-twentieth century America, in this sweeping story of birthright and possibility, of love and the fullness of life itself.
This breathtaking masterpiece, of over 1 000 pages, is both moving and funny, with numerous rich character portrayals and descriptions. Auster's approach of life and of the characters is so human and real, you can't help being under the spell of the book. Even if you can feel overwhelmed from time to time, you will admire the inventiveness and literary talent of Paul Auster !
