<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Originally published: New York: Henry Holt, 2003.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Several months into his recovery from a near-fatal illness, thirty-four-year-old novelist Sidney Orr enters a stationery shop in the Cobble Hill section of 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. <p/>A novel that expands to fill volumes in the reader's mind, <i>Oracle Night</i> is a beautifully constructed meditation on time, love, storytelling, and the imagination by one of the great writers of our time (<i>San Francisco Chronicle</i>).</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"As Auster's many admirers know, his narrative voice is as hypnotic as that of the Ancient Mariner. Start one of his books and by page two you cannot choose but hear." --<i>Michael Dirda, The New York Review of Books</i> <p/>"Compulsively readable yet wonderfully complex and unsettling. The book is both a babushka doll of stories within stories and a literary Rubik's Cube, the solution of which, if there is one, is the very nature of reality." --<i>The Boston Globe</i> <p/>"Auster shines as a fabulist and tale-teller, putting a high-modernist gloss on noir." --<i>The New Yorker</i> <p/>"A joy to read." --<i>The Economist</i> <p/>"It's urban mysticism, a poetry of the hidden and the almost forgotten, with the supernatural power deriving equally from the city and the novelist's imagination. . . . A snow globe of a novel." --<i>New York magazine</i> <p/>"<i>Oracle Night</i> is a triumph for novelist Auster. It cements his growing reputation as one of America's most inventive and original writers." --<i>The Seattle Times</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>PAUL AUSTER</b> is the bestselling author of <i>Travels in the Scriptorium</i>, <i>The Brooklyn Follies</i>, and <i>Man in the Dark</i>.<i> I Thought My Father Was God</i>, the NPR National Story Project anthology, which he edited, was a national bestseller. His work has been translated into thirty languages. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.</p>
