I was looking for a quiet place to die. Someone recommended Brooklyn and so the next morning I travelled down there from Westchester to scope out the terrain . . . So begins Paul Auster s remarkable novel The Brooklyn Follies. 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..
