An exhilarating, whirlwind tale of one man's accidental redemption, from "one of the Great writers of our time" (San Fransisco Chronicle).


Nathan Glass has come to Brooklyn to die. Divorced, retired, estranged from his only daughter, the former life insurance salesman seeks only solitude and anonymity. Then Glass encounters his long-lost nephew, Tom Wood, who is working in a local bookstore-a far cry from the brilliant academic career Tom had begun when Nathan saw him last. Tom's boss is the colorful and charismatic Harry Brightman-aka Harry Dunkel-once the owner of a Chicago art gallery, whom fate has also brought to the "ancient kingdom of Brooklyn, New York. " Through Tom and Harry, Nathan's world gradually broadens to include a new circle of acquaintances-not to mention a stray relative or two-and leads him to a reckoning with his past.

With The Brooklyn Follies, the always astonishing Paul Auster has written what is undoubtedly his warmest, most exuberant novel, a moving, unforgettable hymn to the glories and mysteries of ordinary human life.

Paul Auster is the bestselling author of Oracle Night, The Book of Illusions, and Timbuktu. I Thought My Father Was God, the NPR National Story Project anthology, which he edited, was also a national bestseller. His work has been translated into more than thirty languages. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.

Pete was born in Warrington to an Irish mother and an English father and spent happy summer holidays in Cork. Years later, reflecting on the many places he has visited as a travel broadcaster, Pete admits that he feels more at home in Ireland than anywhere.
