Invisible

Frühling 1967 in New York. Der zwanzigjährige Student Adam Walker trifft auf den enigmatischen Franzosen Rudolf Born und dessen stille, aber verführerische Freundin Margot. Schon bald sieht er sich verstrickt in eine eigentümliche Dreiecksgeschichte, die in einem traumatisierenden Akt der Gewalt gipfelt und sein Leben für immer verändern wird. Aus der Sicht dreier Erzähler, über einen Zeitraum von 40 Jahre, berichtet dieses kraftvolle Werk über den Zorn der Jugend, ungezügelte Lust und die gnadenlose Jagd nach Gerechtigkeit. Auster beweist sich wieder als einer der besten Autoren unserer Zeit.
