Paul Auster’s mesmerizing eleventh novel reads like an old-fashioned ghost story.

At once a meditation on the nature of time and a journey through the labyrinth of one man’s imagination, Oracle Night is a narrative tour de force that confirms Auster’s reputation as one of the boldest, most original writers at work in America today.
