Relation In Favor Of Books Man in the Dark
Man in the Dark is Paul Auster’s brilliant, devastating novel about the many realities we inhabit as wars flame all around us.Seventy-two-year-old August Brill is recovering from a car accident in his daughter’s house in Vermont. When sleep refuses to come, he lies in bed and tells himself stories, struggling to push back thoughts about things he would prefer to forget—his wife’s recent death and the horrific murder of his granddaughter’s boyfriend, Titus. The retired book critic imagines a parallel world in which America is not at war with Iraq but with itself. In this other America the twin towers did not fall and the 2000 election results led to secession, as state after state pulled away from the union and a bloody civil war ensued. As the night progresses, Brill’s story grows increasingly intense, and what he is so desperately trying to avoid insists on being told. Joined in the early hours by his granddaughter, he gradually opens up to her and recounts the story of his marriage. After she falls asleep, he at last finds the courage to revisit the trauma of Titus’s death.
Passionate and shocking, Man in the Dark is a novel of our moment, a book that forces us to confront the blackness of night even as it celebrates the existence of ordinary joys in a world capable of the most grotesque violence.

É uma casa de almas feridas, sofredoras e, todas as noites, Brill permanece acordado na escuridão, tentando não pensar no seu passado, inventando histórias acerca de outros mundos.

I love Paul Auster's writing. Beautiful book.And I just received the audio book, read by the master himself, looking forward to it!
شعرتُ أن بول أوستر قام بسحب البساط من تحت رواية كانت الاحداث مشوقة والترابط مميزاً لأحداث القصة التي مزجها بين الفانتازيا وبين نفسه في الوقت عينه..الدخول الى العوالم الموازية ثم إنهائها بشكل مستفز وغير منطقي..على كل أسمتعت بالرواية حيث أدخل قصص كثيرة وغنية الى داخل الرواية بشكل محبب وقريب للواقع ولم يؤثر في السرد بشكل كبير..أحياناً شعرت بالتيه داخل أروقة الرواية ولكن النهاية أجابت على كل تساؤلاتي ونجحت في تبديد حيرتي..لم أندم على قرائتها.. عمل يستحق التقدير
Back when I was an undergraduate in college (not that I ever did any graduate work, but I'm about to make fun of myself, and making fun of 'undergraduates' is a literary tradition in these parts) I got a total boner* for structuralism. And then post-structuralism. I was dating Sarah and she was like, 'Hey, you like this soulless pomo bullshit, you should read this book I just read and didn't like, the New York Trilogy,' I was all, sweet, empty soulless pomo bullshit! And read it, and didn't
