Auster, Paul: Oracle Night
- Description
- Additional information
Essentially Oracle Night is about a novelist recovering from a near-fatal illness. He lives with his wife in New York, and while she's at work, he spends his days touring the city on foot. One day he buys a notebook from a stationary shop run by a little Chinese man. He brings it home and finds that as soon as he opens it the writer's block that has plagued him for months completely disappears. Suddenly his imagination comes alive and, in doing so, his own life takes on a surreal, larger than life edge that has him questioning the very essence of who he is, where he's come from and where he's going. He begins to scrutinise his relationship with his wife and his friend in ways he had never contemplated before.
