Beschreibung

<b>Paul Auster's dystopian future from the author of contemporary classic <i>The New York Trilogy</i>: 'a literary voice for the ages' (<i>Guardian</i>) </b><br><br>'That is how it works in the City. Every time you think you know the answer to a question, you discover that the question makes no sense . . .'<br><br>This is the story of Anna Blume and her journey to find her lost brother, William, in the unnamed City. Like the City itself, however, it is a journey that is doomed, and so all that is left is Anna's unwritten account of what happened.<br><br>Paul Auster takes us to an unspecified and devastated world in which the self disappears amidst the horrors that surround us. But this is not just an imaginary, futuristic world: like the settings of Kafka stories, it is one that echoes our own, and in doing so addresses some of our darker legacies. <br><br> <i>In the Country of Last Things </i>is a tense, psychological take on the dystopian novel. It continues Auster's deep exploration of his central themes: the modern city, the mysteries of storytelling, and the elusive and unstable nature of truth.
