Invisible
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.

A work of unforgettable power that takes the reader in a complicated and ultimately violent love triangle, moving from a US provincial town to Paris in a large time span, 1967 – 2007, with great attention to the novel as a form of art.
