Synopsis: The discovery of a mysterious notebook turns a man's life upside-down in this compulsively readable novel by 'one of the great writers of our time' ( San Francisco Chronicle ). Several months into his recovery from a near-fatal illness, novelist Sidney Orr enters a stationery shop in Brooklyn and buys a blue notebook. It is September 18, 1982, and for the next nine days Orr will live under the spell of this blank book, trapped inside a world of eerie premonitions and bewildering events that threaten to destroy his marriage and undermine his faith in reality. Paul Auster's mesmerizing eleventh novel reads like an old-fashioned ghost story. But there are no ghosts in this book - only flesh-and-blood human beings, wandering through the haunted realms of everyday life. 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.

Taschenbuch. Kartoniert. Condition: Sehr gut. Taschenbucherstausgabe. 285 (3) Seiten. 19 cm. Umschlaggestaltung: any.way, Cathrin Günther. Sehr guter Zustand. Der Schriftsteller Sidney Orr ist nach einem Unfall auf dem Weg der Genesung. Als er ein wundervolles blaues Notizbuch kauft, verschwindet seine Schreibhemmung. Die Geschichten fliegen ihm nur so zu. Eine gebiert die andere, bis ihm dämmert: Sie führen immer häufiger in ausweglose Situationen. Wie sein Leben. Seine Frau verschließt sich vor ihm und hütet ein Geheimnis. Was ist da im Spiel Zufall? Magie? Seit seiner wundervollen New York-Trilogie denkt der US-amerikanische Erfolgsautor Paul Auster gar nicht daran, sich erzähltechnisch zu verändern. Warum sollte er auch? Zwar ähnelt jeder Plot mit seinen Vexierspielen, Fallstricken, Spiegelfechtereien, Doppelbödigkeiten und gelenkten Zufälle irgendwie dem anderen. Aber bereits in den ersten Romanen wie Stadt aus Glas oder Mond über Manhattan hat Auster eine Sprache und Struktur gefunden, die wahrscheinlich bis zum Sankt-Nimmerleins-Tag funktionieren wird. Und das ist durchaus als Kompliment gemeint. Auch Nacht des Orakels erinnert an frühere Bücher Austers, vor allem an das letzte, Das Buch der Illusionen, der verschachtelte Roman im Roman um einen Stummfilmstar, seinen Biografen und die Vernichtung eines Lebenswerks. Erzählt wird die Geschichte des 35-jährigen Schriftstellers Sidney Orr aus New York, der seine Schreibhemmung überwindet, als ihm ein merkwürdiger Chinese namens M.R. Chang in einem himmlischen Schreibwarenladen namens Paper Palace ein blaues Portugalbuch verkauft, und dafür, in einer Art Teufelspakt, andere Probleme an den Hals bekommt. Aber eigentlich erzählt Auster einmal mehr die Geschichte des Schreibens und seiner Konstruktionen selbst. Wieder ist die Methode durchschaubar. Und trotzdem muss man sich wieder über seine narrative Raffinesse und sprachliche Bravour mehr als wundern und sich fragen: Mr. Auster, wie haben Sie das gemacht? Als postmoderner Autor hat Auster sich durch die Literatur hindurchgefressen wie kein Zweiter. So weiß er, dass mit dem ersten Satz alles steht und fällt. "Ich war lange Zeit krank gewesen", lautet dieser Satz. Besser hat auch Goethe seinen Werther nicht starten lassen, oder Hermann Melville seinen Moby Dick -- ein Buch zudem, dem Auster nicht nur den Hang zur ausufernden Fußnote verdankt. Genau so müssen gute Romane beginnen, dann kann kaum mehr etwas schief gehen. Und so ist es auch in Nacht des Orakels, über fast 300 Seiten, bis zum Schluss. Nacht des Orakels ist ein sprachlicher Sog. Man muss kein Prophet sein, um zu wissen, dass Auster auch damit wieder in den Bestseller-Listen landen wird. Und das ganz zu Recht. --Thomas Köster.
