The Brooklyn Follies by Paul Auster
Set against the backdrop of the contested US election of 2000, this book tells the story of Nathan and Tom, an uncle and nephew double-act. One in remission from lung cancer, divorced, and estranged from his only daughter, the other hiding away from his once-promising academic career, and, indeed, from life in general.
