Mes croyances sont limitées, mais elles sont violentes. Je crois à la possibilité du royaume restreint. Je crois à l'amour écrivait récemment Michel Houellebecq. Le narrateur de Sérotonine approuverait sans réserve. Son récit traverse une France qui piétine ses traditions, banalise ses villes, détruit ses campagnes au bord de la révolte. Il raconte sa vie d'ingénieur agronome, son amitié pour un aristocrate agriculteur (un inoubliable personnage de roman - son double inversé), l'échec des idéaux de leur jeunesse, l'espoir peut-être insensé de retrouver une femme perdue. Ce roman sur les ravages d'un monde sans bonté, sans solidarité, aux mutations devenues incontrôlables, est aussi un roman sur le remords et le regret.

Obra ganadora del Premi LlibreterThe Promise charts the crash and burn of a white South African family, living on a farm outside Pretoria. The Swarts are gathering for Ma's funeral. The younger generation, Anton and Amor, detest everything the family stand for -- not least the failed promise to the Black woman who has worked for them her whole life. After years of service, Salome was promised her own house, her own land... yet somehow, as each decade passes, that promise remains unfulfilled.The narrator's eye shifts and blinks: moving fluidly between characters, flying into their dreams deliciously lethal in its observation. And as the country moves from old deep divisions to its new so-called fairer society, the lost promise of more than just one family hovers behind the novel's title.In this story of a diminished family, sharp and tender emotional truths hit home. Confident, deft and quietly powerful, The Promise is literary fiction at its finest.

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.

La principal diferencia entre una tragedia de Shakespeare y una comedia de Chejov es que al finalizar una tragedia de Shakespeare el escenario está cubierto de cadáveres y quizás –solo quizás– se haya impuesto la justicia. Al término de una comedia de Chejov, todo el mundo está decepcionado, afligido, derrotado o desencantado, pero vivo. Y toda mi vida he pensado que deberíamos luchar no por un final feliz del conflicto –nunca he creído en los finales felices de los conflictos–, sino por una solución chejoviana. ––––––––––––––––– Principala diferen?a între o tragedie shakespeariana ?i o comedie cehoviana este ca la sfâr?itul unei tragedii de Shakespeare, scena e acoperita de trupuri moarte ?i eventual dreptatea învinge. Eventual. La finalul unei piese de Cehov, toata lumea e dezamagita, îndurerata, zdruncinata, decep?ionata, dar vie. Eu am trait mereu cu credin?a ca trebuie sa luptam, nu pentru finalul fericit al unui conflict – nu cred în finaluri fericite în cazul conflictelor – ci pentru o solu?ie cehoviana. ––––––––––––––––– Hona zein den tragedia shakespearetar eta komedia txe-khovtar baten arteko alde nagusia: Shakespeareren tragedia baten amaieran agertokia gorpuz betea dagoela, pertsonaia hilez, eta beharbada justizia nagusitu da, beharbada. Txekhoven antzezlan baten bukaeran, jende guztia desilusionatua dago, guztiz joa, atsekabetua, adoregabetua, baina bizirik. Eta nik bizitza osoan sinetsi izan dut borroka egin behar genukeela, ez gatazka baten amaiera zoriontsu bat izateko –gatazken amaiera zoriontsuetan ez dut nik sinesten–, soluzio txekhovtar bat izateko baizik.

C'è una rapina nella casa di uno scrittore molto noto, col bottino, sparisce il computer in cui è salvato il suo ultimo romanzo non ancora consegnato alla casa editrice e incautamente non conservato in altro modo. Da questo momento il file comincia a scivolare come argento vivo sul piano accidentato della sua avventura, e si insinua, imprendibile e vivificante come il metallo liquido degli alchimisti, nel tran tran quotidiano dei tanti e diversi protagonisti. Ognuno dei quali sarebbe per sorte lontanissimo dagli altri, ma si trova coinvolto occasionalmente a causa della deviazione che quel manoscritto ha impresso nella sua esistenza. Il grande scrittore e la moglie, il giovane ingegnere a tempo determinato che lotta con la vita insieme alla affannata compagna, la bella agente di polizia, che conduce l'indagine in competizione con il laido superiore, la banda dei balordi, il tecnico appena disoccupato che c'è capitato per caso, il vecchio editore e la giovane editor. Questa varietà di personaggi, con i loro pezzi di vita, l'autore muove intorno alle eventualità aperte dallo svolgersi dell'inchiesta di polizia, su cui a loro volta gli individui incidono inconsapevoli con le scelte che fanno, creando una commedia degli incroci della vita.
