_Oracle Night _is a compulsively readable novel by 'one of the great
writers of our time.' (_San Francisco Chronicle_).
Several months into his recovery from a near-fatal illness, novelist
Sidney Orr enters a stationery shop in Brooklyn and buys a blue
notebook. It is September 18, 1982, and for the next nine days Orr
will live under the spell of this blank book, trapped inside a world
of eerie premonitions and bewildering events that threaten to destroy
his marriage and undermine his faith in reality.
If _The New York Trilogy _was Paul Auster's detective story, his
mesmerizing eleventh novel reads like an old-fashioned ghost story.
But there are no ghosts in this book - only flesh-and-blood human
beings, wandering through the haunted realms of everyday life. _Oracle
Night_ is a narrative tour de force that confirms Auster's reputation
as one of the boldest, most original writers at work in America today.
'His old-fashioned art of creating suspense . . . which rivals M. R.
James or Conan Doyle. In fact, _Oracle Night_ is best read as a
post-modern ghost story.' The _Guardian_
