Ein wilder Roman voll grotesker Abenteuer

Der Student Marco Stanley Fogg wohnt in einem leeren New Yorker Loft mit Ausblick auf einen Hinterhof und ein China-Restaurant. Seit sein Onkel und Ersatz-Vater gestorben ist, hat er die Wohnung nicht verlassen. Einem Zusammenbruch nahe beginnt er, überall Zeichen zu sehen: Die Leuchtreklame «Moon Palace» scheint geheimnisvoll mit den Moon Men, der Jazz Band seines Onkels, verbunden. Diese wieder mit der ersten Mondlandung. Marco macht sich auf, um das Rätsel zu lösen - vielleicht ist es auch das seiner Herkunft.

An old man awakens, disoriented, in an unfamiliar chamber. With no memory of who he is or how he has arrived there, he pores over the relics on the desk, examining the circumstances of his confinement and searching his own hazy mind for clues.

As the day passes, various characters call on Mr. Blank in his cell, and each brings frustrating hints of his forgotten identity and his past.

«Die New-York-Trilogie hat Auster als den Autor etabliert, der sich als einziger mit Samuel Beckett messen kann.» Guardian

Stadt aus Glas. Schlagschatten. Hinter verschlossenen Türen: Jeder dieser drei Romane der «New-York-Trilogie» wirkt zunächst wie eine klassische Kriminalgeschichte. Alle drei ziehen den Leser mit raffiniert ausgelegten Ködern in ihren Bann. Aber bald scheinen die vordergründig logischen Zusammenhänge nicht mehr zu stimmen. Täter werden auf rätselhafte Weise zu Opfern, Verfolger zu Verfolgten. Schritt für Schritt wird...
