ABOUT
THE BOOK

Three different narrators tell the story of Invisible, a novel that travels in time from 1967 to 2007. It is a book of youthful rage, unbridled sexual hunger, and a relentless quest for justice. With uncompromising insight, Auster takes us into the shadowy borderland between truth and memory, between authorship and identity, to produce a work of unforgettable power.
