Leviathan by Paul Auster
NATIONAL BESTSELLER . A "compelling" (Los Angeles Times) novel of friendship, betrayal, estrangement, and the unpredictable intrusions of violence in the everyday-from "a literary original who is perfecting a genre of his own" (The Wall Street Journal)"Rich and complex . . . with fully fleshed characters, a fast-paced plot, thematic sophistication, and narrative cunning."-The Boston Globe
"Six days ago, a man blew himself up by the side of a road in northern Wisconsin."
So begins Peter Aaron's story about his best friend, Benjamin Sachs. Sachs had a marriage Aaron envied, an intelligence he admired, a world he shared. And then suddenly, after a near-fatal fall that might or might not have been intentional, Sachs disappeared. Now Aaron must piece together the life that led to Sach's death. His sole aim is to tell the truth and preserve it-before those who are investigating the case invent an account of their own.
Leviathan is a daring and immensely moving story by an author whom The Times Literary Supplement has called "one of America's most spectacularly inventive writers."
Paul Auster is a poet, translator, and film director who has written multiple novels, screenplays, and nonfiction books. The Book of Illusions and Oracle Night are two of his critically regarded works.
