Items related to Sunset Park: Paul Auster
In the sprawling flatlands of Florida, 28-year-old Miles is photographing the last lingering traces of families who have abandoned their houses due to debt or foreclosure. Miles is haunted by guilt for having inadvertently caused the death of his step-brother, a situation that caused him to flee his father and step-mother in New York 7 years ago. What keeps him in Florida is his relationship with a teenage high-school girl, Pilar, but when her family threatens to expose their relationship, Miles decides to protect Pilar by going back to Brooklyn, where he settles in a squat to prepare himself to face the inevitable confrontation with his father that he ahs been avoiding for years. Pulsing with the energy of Auster’s previous novel, INVISIBLE, SUNSET PARK is as mythic as it is contemporary, as in love with baseball as it is with literature. It is above all, a story about love and forgiveness – not only among men and women, but also between fathers and sons.

Book Description Condition: Gut. 2. Auflage. 309 (5) Seiten. Sehr guter Zustand. Getrieben von der Schuld am Tod seines Stiefbruders, hat Miles seine Eltern seit sieben Jahren nicht gesehen. Doch als die Familie seiner minderjährigen Freundin droht, ihre Beziehung auffliegen zu lassen, kehrt Miles nach Brooklyn zurück und bereitet sich darauf vor, seinem Vater gegenüber zu treten. Eine Geschichte über Liebe und Vergebung zwischen Männern und Frauen, Vätern und Söhnen. - Paul Benjamin Auster [p??l 'b?nd??m?n '??st?] (* 3. Februar 1947 in Newark, New Jersey) ist ein US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller. Zudem arbeitet er als Regisseur, Kritiker, Übersetzer und Herausgeber. Er ist verheiratet mit der Schriftstellerin Siri Hustvedt. . In Paul Austers Werk gibt es starke Bezüge zu den amerikanischen Transzendentalisten des 19. Jahrhunderts, namentlich zu Nathaniel Hawthorne und Henry David Thoreau. Es finden sich Einflüsse des Poststrukturalismus im Sinne von Jacques Derrida und der Psychoanalyse von Jacques Lacan. Auster variiert in seinen Büchern die Frage des Verhältnisses von natürlicher Ordnung zur symbolischen Ordnung der Dinge. Die Transzendentalisten glauben an eine Trennung der Gegensätze, zugleich aber auch an die Möglichkeit der Rückführung zueinander. Lacans Theorie besagt, dass wir die Welt durch Sprache wahrnehmen und strukturieren. Auch unser Unbewusstes konstituiert sich durch Sprache, so dass ein fundamentaler Mangel in der Wahrnehmung der Welt entsteht. Bereiche, die nur gespürt werden können, entziehen sich der sprachlichen Festlegung. Austers Protagonisten sind oft Schriftsteller und Suchende, die sich der scheinbaren Unordnung der Welt und dem Chaos der Ereignisse ausgeliefert fühlen. Die Figuren und mit ihnen ihr Schöpfer er-schreiben sich ihre Rückkehr in geordnete Verhältnisse. Das Finden und Erfinden von Strukturen, sei es im Schreiben imaginärer Bücher und Biografien, sei es im Konstruieren und Auflösen von komplexen Handlungsplots, trotzt dem Zufall als schicksalshaftem Element. Der Autor findet buchstäblich sein Heil in der Sprache. . Aus: wikipedia-Paul_Auster Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 198 17,6 cm. Taschenbuch. Kartoniert. Seller Inventory # 54906
