Viac o knihe

Set against the backdrop of the contested US election of 2000, it tells the story of Nathan and Tom, an uncle and nephew double-act. One in remission from lung cancer, divorced, and estranged from his only daughter, the other hiding away from his once-promising academic career, and, indeed, from life in general.Having accidentally ended up in the same Brooklyn neighbourhood, they discover a community teeming with life and passion. When Lucy, a little girl who refuses to speak, comes into their lives, there is suddenly a bridge from their pasts that offers them the possibility of redemption. Infused with character, mystery and humour, these lives intertwine and become bound together as Auster brilliantly explores the wider terrain of contemporary America - a crucible of broken dreams and of human folly.

On Kafka and Dolls
In spite of a scathing criticism accusing Auster of sentimentality and downgrading of style, this novel has a rich emotional core and is written in a readable quirky style (that might become ocassionaly sentimental).

Brooklyn Follies is a portrait of a few ordinary lives, of common people and their disappointments and triumphs, little mistakes and recoveries.

The novel takes place in Brooklyn in 2000 and tells the story of Nathan Glass, cancer survivor, who is compiling the Book of Human Folly, his nephew Tom, the grad school dropout, enigmatic bookseller Harry and many others. All of them try to come to terms with their own stories – follies and to live in reality.

Brooklyn Follies is one of those accessible of Auster’s novels. It offers a mixture of style of the Smoke and the Book of Illusions. Even though it is not a straight story and is rich in intertextuality and symbolism so typical for Auster’s novels.
