Our Book of the Week is
Sunset Park: A Novel by Paul Auster (Henry Holt, ISBN
9780805092868, $25.00) "Sunset Park" follows the hopes and fears of a cast
of unforgettable characters brought together by the mysterious Miles Heller
during the dark months of the 2008 economic collapse.
* An enigmatic young man employed as a trash-out worker in southern Florida
obsessively photographing thousands of abandoned objects left behind by the
evicted families.
* A Group of young people squatting in a house in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.
* The Hospital for Broken Things, which specializes in repairing the
artifacts of a vanished world.
* William Wyler's 1946 classic "The Best Years of Our Lives."
* A celebrated actress preparing to return to Broadway.
* An independent publisher desperately trying to save his business and his
marriage.
These are just some of the elements Auster magically weaves together in this
immensely moving novel about contemporary America and its ghosts. "Sunset
Park" confirms Paul Auster as one of our greatest living writers, and this
week it's 30% off.
