Man in the Dark - Paul Auster
Seventy-two-year-old August Brill is recovering from a car accident. He imagines a parallel world in which America is not at war with Iraq but with itself. Plagued by insomnia, he tries to push back thoughts of things he would prefer to forget - his wife's recent death and the horrific murder of his granddaughter's boyfriend, Titus - by telling himself stories.
Brill gradually opens up to his granddaughter, recounting the story of his marriage and confronting the grim reality of Titus' death. In this other America the twin towers did not fall, and the 2000 election results led to secession, as state after state pulled away from the union, and a bloody civil war ensued. "Man in the Dark" is a novel of our time, a book that forces us to confront the blackness of night whilst also celebrating the existence of ordinary joys in a brutal world.
