Invisible

Sinuously constructed in four interlocking parts, Invisible opens in New York City in the spring of 1967 when twenty-year-old Adam Walker, an aspiring poet and student at Columbia University meets the enigmatic Frenchman Rudolf Born, and his silent and seductive girlfriend Margot. Before long, Walker finds himself caught in a perverse triangle that leads to a sudden, shocking act of violence that will alter the course of his life. Three different narrators tell the story, as it travels in time from 1967 to 2007 and moves from New York to Paris and to a remote Caribbean island in a story of unbridled sexual hunger and a relentless quest for justice. With uncompromising insight, Auster takes us to the shadowy borderland between truth and memory, authorship and identity to produce a work of unforgettable power that confirms his reputation as one of America's most spectacularly inventive writers.

Auster Paul

Paul Auster (Newark, New Jersey, 1947 – Brooklyn, New York, 2024) was a prominent American novelist, essayist, translator, screenwriter and poet. He gained his recognition through a characteristic combination of existentialism, absurdity and metafiction, often exploring the themes of identity, loneliness and the search for meaning in his works.

He studied at Columbia University, but dropped out before graduating. He worked as a translator and editor before devoting himself fully to writing. His literary career began with the publication of The Glass City (1985), which introduced themes of chance, coincidence, and the unpredictable nature of human existence that would recur in his novels. One of Auster's most notable works is The New York Trilogy (1987), a collection of three interconnected novels that established him as a leading figure in American postmodern literature. Other works, such as Moon Palace (1989), The Music of Chance (1990), Leviathan (1992), and Brooklyn Review of Folly (2005), which blend elements of detective fiction, autobiography, and philosophical reflections, further cemented his reputation. Auster also wrote poetry, essays, and memoirs, including The Invention of Solitude (1982) and The Winter Diary (2012). He also tried his hand at writing scripts and directing in films such as Lulu on the Bridge (1998) and The Inner Life of Martin Frost (2007).

Auster is the recipient of numerous awards and recognitions. He was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters and a recipient of the French Order of Achievement in Arts and Letters. His books have been translated into more than forty languages. Revered for his imaginative storytelling and intellectual depth, Auster continues to be a prominent voice in contemporary American literature.
