"One of America's greatest novelists" dazzlingly reinvents the coming-of-age story in his most passionate and surprising book to dateSinuously constructed in four interlocking parts, Paul Auster's fifteenth novel opens in New York City in the spring of 1967, when twenty-year-old Adam Walker, an aspiring poet and student at Columbia University, meets the enigmatic Frenchman Rudolf Born and his silent and seductive girfriend, Margot. Before long, Walker finds himself caught in a perverse triangle that leads to a sudden, shocking act of violence that will alter the course of his life.Three different narrators tell the story of Invisible, a novel that travels in time from 1967 to 2007 and moves from Morningside Heights, to the Left Bank of Paris, to a remote island in the Caribbean. It is a book of youthful rage, unbridled sexual hunger, and a relentless quest for justice. With uncompromising insight, Auster takes us into the shadowy borderland between truth and memory, between authorship and identity, to produce a work of unforgettable power that confirms his reputation as "one of America's most spectacularly inventive writers."

她觉得,对于这个世界而言,你是太好了,正因如此,世界最终会碾碎你。
你记得格温有一天走近你房间,坐在床上,掀起罩衫,给你看她那小小的、第一次竖起的乳头,她那刚开始萌芽、膨胀的乳房的最早征兆。你记得自己曾向她展示第一簇阴毛,还有少年时期的勃起。你也记得挨着她站在浴室里,看着她初潮的经血沿大腿流下。在这些奇迹发生时,你俩毫不犹豫地找到了对方。
