Representaion To Books Man in the Dark

Man in the Dark is Paul Auster’s brilliant, devastating novel about the many realities we inhabit as wars flame all around us.

Seventy-two-year-old August Brill is recovering from a car accident in his daughter’s house in Vermont. When sleep refuses to come, he lies in bed and tells himself stories, struggling to push back thoughts about things he would prefer to forget—his wife’s recent death and the horrific murder of his granddaughter’s boyfriend, Titus. The retired book critic imagines a parallel world in which America is not at war with Iraq but with itself. In this other America the twin towers did not fall and the 2000 election results led to secession, as state after state pulled away from the union and a bloody civil war ensued. As the night progresses, Brill’s story grows increasingly intense, and what he is so desperately trying to avoid insists on being told. Joined in the early hours by his granddaughter, he gradually opens up to her and recounts the story of his marriage. After she falls asleep, he at last finds the courage to revisit the trauma of Titus’s death.

Passionate and shocking, Man in the Dark is a novel of our moment, a book that forces us to confront the blackness of night even as it celebrates the existence of ordinary joys in a world capable of the most grotesque violence.

"Ontem uma criança, hoje um velho e, desde então até agora, quantas batidas do coração, quantos movimentos respiratórios, quantas palavras ditas e ouvidas? Alguém toque em mim. Põe a tua mão no meu rosto e fala comigo..." (p. 158)August Brill, crítico literário vencedor de um Pulitzer, muda-se para casa da filha recém-divorciada após um acidente grave de viação. Na casa vive também a sua neta que, antes da ida do ex-namorado para o Iraque e terrível morte, estudava cinema na universidade.

Man in the Dark, Paul AusterMan in the Dark is a novel by Paul Auster published in August 2008. Its topic is a dystopian scenario of the present-day United States being torn apart by a new secession and civil war after the presidential elections of 2000. (The fictional division between the secessionist and loyal states is very similar to the "Jesusland" map.) This is told within a frame narrative of an aging journalist reflecting on his family and the death of his wife.تاریخ نخستین خوانش: روز

او دست آخر به غمگینترین فردی تبدیل شد که دیدهام. در بهار سال 1987 یک روز صبح خدمتکارش وحشتزده به من تلفن کرد. با کلیدی که برای نظافت هفتگی در اختیارش گذاشته بود وارد آپارتمان شده و جسد خواهرم را روی تختخواب یافته بود. اتومبیل همسایه را قرض گرفتم تا نیوجرسی راندم و هویت جسد را برای پلیس شناسایی کردم. دیدن او در آن حال بسیار شوکآور بود: چنان بیحرکت دور و مرده حقیقتا مرده. وقتی پرسیدند مایلم جسد را برای کالبدشکافی بفرستند گفتم آن را به حال خود بگذارند. تنها دو امکان وجود داشت: یا به صورت طبیعی از

For me a novel by Paul Auster always is a winner!!!The writing is superb, the story flows unconstrained, casually and easily like as propel by magic..The characters brimming with life, unmistakable it is the powerful voice of one of the few remaining master storyteller..Indeed a true American original!!Well having said that, "The Man in the Dark" kept me turning the pages and if it does exists something called a compulsive reading, then here you have it before your nose!!Honestly folks, I

*Fanfare*Yes, it is Paul Auster time again ladies and gentlemen. Paul. I love you. Almost as hard to write as it is to say, although technically my fingers are more limber and better versed at communication as they are without the subtle patina of sceptical hoar frost which coats my cryogenically chilled cardio-vascular chambers. As I have previously discussed, my first few dates with Paul were suspicious, sullen affairs where I peered at the pages with an arched eyebrow trying to decided... "

I love Paul Auster's writing. Beautiful book.And I just received the audio book, read by the master himself, looking forward to it!
