Synopsis "Brooklyn Follies (in Spanish)"

Nathan Glass ha sobrevivido a un cáncer de pulmón y a un divorcio después de tres décadas de matrimonio, y ha vuelto a Brooklyn, el lugar donde pasó su infancia. Hasta que enfermó era un vendedor de seguros; ahora que ya no tiene que ganarse la vida, piensa escribir El libro del desvarío humano. Contará todo lo que pasa a su alrededor, todo lo que le ocurre y lo que se le ocurre. Comienza a frecuentar el bar del barrio y está casi enamorado de la camarera. Y va también a la librería de segunda mano de Harry Brightman, un homosexual culto que no es quien dice ser. Y allí se encuentra con Tom, su sobrino, el hijo de su amada hermana muerta. El joven había sido un universitario brillante. Y ahora, solitario, conduce un taxi y ayuda a Brightman a clasificar sus libros... Poco a poco, Nathan irá descubriendo que no ha venido a Brooklyn a morir, sino a vivir.


«El Auster más espléndido, donde los esfuerzos de la escritura se convierten en una prosa maravillosamente fluida. Y todo el libro es una poderosa meditación sobre la felicidad, y los años que nos acorralan. Esta soberbia novela sobre la locura humana resulta ser muy sabia.» (Alastair Sooke, New Statesman).
