New York City, Spring 1967: Twenty-year-old Adam Walker, an aspiring poet and student at Columbia University, meets the enigmatic Frenchman Rudolf Born, and his silent and seductive girlfriend Margot. Falling into a passionate affair with Margot, Walker soon finds himself caught in a perverse triangle that leads to a sudden, shocking act of violence that will alter the course of his life. Sinuously constructed in four interlocking parts, Invisible is told by three different narrators as it travels in time from 1967 to 2007 and moves from New York to Paris and to a remote Caribbean island, in a story of unbridled sexual hunger and a relentless quest for justice.

With uncompromising insight, Auster takes us to the shadowy borderland between truth and memory, authorship and identity, to produce a work of unforgettable power that confirms his reputation as one of America´s most spectacularly inventive writers.

-Auster, Paul

Poeta, traductor, crítico, novelista, director y guionista de cine, Auster empezó su carrera escribiendo poesía y ensayos en revistas literarias. Se ganó el elogio de la crítica en 1987 con la publicación de La trilogía de Nueva York, su novela más leída hasta el momento. Su obra, anclada en Nueva York, arranca de lo autobiográfico y escruta temas como el misterio, el mundo de las coincidencias, la soledad, lo imprevisible del azar, la identidad o la incomunicación. Su ficción, gracias a esta desconcertante mezcla de realismo y fantasía, sorprende al lector y confunde sus expectativas. -
