Paul Auster LEVIATHAN

Six days ago, a man blew himself up by the side of a road in northern Wisconsin.
The explosion that detonates the narrative of Paul Auster´s remarkable novel also ends the life of its hero, Benjamin Sachs, and brings two FBI agents to the home of one of Sach´s oldest friends, the writer Peter Aaron.
what follows is Aaron´s story, an intricate, subtle and gripping investigation of another man´s life in all its richness and complexity.

" I didn´t witness the accident, but I was there the night it happened. there must have been forty or fifty of us at he party, a mass of people crowded into the confines of cramped Brooklyn Heights apartment, sweating, drinking, raising a ruckus in the hot summer air. the accident took place at around eleven o´clock, but by then most of us had gone up to the roof to watch the fireworks. Only two people actually saw Sachs fall: Maria Turner, who was standing next to him on the fire escape, and a woman named Agnes Darwin, who inadvertently caused him to lose his balance by tripping into Maria from behind. There is no question that Sachs could have been killed. Given that he was four stories off ground, it seems almost a miracle that he wasn´t. "
