Paul Auster La nuit de l'oracle
Hachette 2007 2253111236 / 9782253111238 Perfect Paperback Like New
"Paperback, Like New, clean, tight, unmarked, no spine or cover creases Après un long séjour à l'hôpital, l'écrivain Sidney Orr reprend goût à la vie. Mais il est accablé par l'ampleur de ses dettes et par l'angoisse de ne pas retrouver l'inspiration. Un matin, il découvre une nouvelle papeterie au charme irrésistible. Il entre, attiré par un étrange carnet bleu. Le soir même, dans un état second, Sidney commence à écrire dans ce carnet une captivante histoire qui dépasse vite ses espérances. Sans qu'il devine où elle va le conduire, ni que le réel lui réserve les plus dangereuses surprises...Virtuosité, puissance narrative, défi réciproque de l'improvisation et de la maîtrise : La Nuit de l'oracle précipite le lecteur au cœur des obsessions austériennes, dans un face à face entre fiction et destin. Comme si l'imaginaire n'était rien d'autre que le déroulement du temps avant la mort. Ou pire encore, son origine. ID: mon0000009577"

In Oracle Night, Paul Auster returns to one of his favorite themes: writing about writers and the act of writing. Recovering from a severe illness that has left him weak and prone to nosebleeds, struggling novelist Sidney Orr takes the suggestion of his mentor, the acclaimed novelist John Trause, and begins a story about a man who, upon considering a near-death experience as an omen (or excuse) , walks out on his wife and begins a new life. Nick Bowen, Orr's protagonist, moves to Kansas City and finds work with a man engaged in creating a sort of catalogue of all known persons from a warehouse filled with phonebooks. Dressed in Goodwill clothing, Nick finds it ''fitting to don the wardrobe of a man who has likewise ceased to exist--as if that double negation made the erasure of his past more thorough, more permanent.'' Grace, however, acts strange...'' ID: mon0000001955"
