Several months into his recovery from a near-fatal illness, thirty-four-year-old novelist Sidney Orr enters a stationery shop in the Cobble Hill section of Brooklyn and buys a blue notebook. It is September 18, 1982, and for the next nine days Orr will live under the spell of this blank book, trapped inside a world of eerie premonitions and puzzling events that threaten to destroy his marriage and undermine his faith in reality.Why does his wife suddenly break down in tears in the backseat of a taxi just hours after Sidney begins writing in the notebook? Why does M. R. Chang, the owner of the stationery shop, precipitously close his business the next day? What are the connections between a 1938 Warsaw telephone directory and a lost novel in which the hero can predict the future? At what point does animosity explode into violence? To what degree is forgiveness the ultimate expression of love?Paul Auster's mesmerizing eleventh novel reads like an old-fashioned ghost story. But there are no ghosts in this book—only flesh-and-blood human beings, wandering through the haunted realms of everyday life. At once a meditation on the nature of time and a journey through the labyrinth of one man's imagination, Oracle Night is a narrative tour de force that confirms Auster's reputation as one of the boldest, most original writers at work in America today.

Sabes cuando en la radio suena la canción que siempre escuchaste en la secundaria, y te imaginaste en el futuro, libre y feliz de hacer lo que quisiste... decir que en ese futuro algo no salió como lo soñaste. Así es para Fabio, que tiene veinticuatro años y estudia derecho. El asunto no le entusiasma en absoluto, pero una serie de circunstancias lo llevaron hasta allí, y no tuvo fuerzas para resistir. Por eso avanza con cansancio, hasta que -estamos en 1998- para evitar el servicio militar obligatorio es enviado a un hospicio para sacerdotes en lo alto de las montañas. Aquí el director es un ex misionero rudo y malhumorado de ochenta años, que no sale de su habitación porque ya no le importa nada, y trata mal a todos menos a Gina, una chica que se cree una gallina. Por diferentes que sean, Fabio y Don Basagni tienen algo en común: la pasión por el ciclismo. Así que empiezan a ver juntos el Giro de Italia y encuentran en Marco Pantani la encarnación de un sueño. Un hombre valiente, atormentado y solitario que se enfrenta a colosales campeones que tienen su punto fuerte en la prudencia y el control de la carrera. Pantani, en cambio, no hace muchos cálculos, escucha al instinto y hace enormes esfuerzos que le permiten mover la frontera, ''la terrible frontera entre lo posible y lo imposible, entre lo que nos gustaría hacer y lo que poder''. Gracias a esta locura maravillosa, Fabio y Don Basagni encontrarán en sí mismos una audacia soterrada, y cuestionarán la existencia sólida y confiable que ahora estaban acostumbrados a soportar.
