“One of America’s greatest novelists” dazzlingly reinvents the coming-of-age story in his most passionate and surprising book to date
Sinuously constructed in four interlocking parts, Paul Auster’s fifteenth novel 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 girfriend, 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 of Invisible, a novel that travels in time from 1967 to 2007 and moves from Morningside Heights, to the Left Bank of Paris, to a remote island in the Caribbean. It is a book of youthful rage, unbridled sexual hunger, and a relentless quest for justice. With uncompromising insight, Auster takes us into the shadowy borderland between truth and memory, between authorship and identity, to produce a work of unforgettable power that confirms his reputation as “one of America’s most spectacularly inventive writers.”

En 1967, Adam Walker, un joven poeta ávido de vida y literatura, estudia en la Universidad de Columbia, se opone a la guerra de Vietnam y es muy apuesto. Una noche conoce a una pareja de franceses muy sofisticados, Rudolf y Margot. Tras varios días en que ambos ejercen su ambigua seducción sobre el inocente americano, Rudolf le ofrece a Adam la dirección de una revista literaria que él financiará. Adam ya sospecha que quizá el profesor sea un hombre peligroso, pero no puede resistirse a su oferta. Y tampoco resistirá a la insinuante Margot... Pero, en estos juegos peligrosos, ¿quién es la presa y quién el cazador? «Una auténtica obra maestra en su género» (Darío Villanueva, El Mundo). «Notabilísima novela. Un Auster estupendo» (Sergi Sánchez, El Periódico). «Da un salto literario en su nueva novela» (Winston Manrique, El País).«La mejor novela de Paul Auster» (New York Times).
En 1967, Adam Walker es un joven poeta ávido de vida y literatura, con mucho más futuro que pasado. Estudia en la Universidad de Columbia, se opone a la guerra de Vietnam, y además es guapísimo.
