Baumgartner’s life had been defined by his deep, abiding love for his wife, Anna, who was killed in a swimming accident nine years earlier. Now 71, Baumgartner continues to struggle to live in her absence as the novel sinuously unfolds into spirals of memory and reminiscence, delineated in episodes spanning from 1968, when Sy and Anna meet as broke students working and writing in New York, through their passionate relationship over the next 40 years, and back to Baumgartner’s youth in Newark and his Polish-born father’s life as a dress-shop owner and failed revolutionary.

Vivir con miedo a perder es negarse a vivir. El esperado regreso a la novela de Paul Auster. Baumgartner es un eminente escritor y profesor universitario, tan excéntrico como increíblemente tierno, que hace nueve años perdió a su mujer. Su vida estuvo definida por el amor profundo y duradero que sentía hacia Anna y ahora, con 71 años, continúa luchando por vivir en su ausencia. Su historia común arranca en 1968, cuando se conocen como estudiantes sin dinero en Nueva York y a pesar de ser casi opuestos en muchos aspectos, inician una apasionada relación que se prolongará a lo largo de cuarenta años.

Professore di filosofia, vedovo da dieci anni, Seymour Baumgartner non si è mai rassegnato alla perdita dell'amata moglie Anna, traduttrice e poetessa, e affronta la vita con un senso di straniamento e una certa goffaggine.

Possiede la saggezza di chi ha vissuto e sa quanto sono importanti i rapporti umani, che vanno coltivati con cure continue e una buona dose di ironia e di umorismo.

Professor Seymour T. Baumgartner, unter Freunden Sy, ist ein über siebzigjähriger emeritierter Phänomenologe aus Princeton, der sich dem Schreiben philosophischer Bücher und, zunehmend, seinen Jugendreminiszenzen widmet: seiner kleinbürgerlichen Herkunft aus Newark; der schwierigen Ehe der Eltern, dem Collegebesuch und einem Studienaufenthalt in Paris; schließlich der wie ein Blitz einschlagenden Liebe zur Übersetzerin und Dichterin Anna, mit der er die glücklichsten Jahre verbrachte, bevor sie vor zehn Jahren einem Badeunfall zum Opfer fiel.

Die Angriffe zu überleben bedeutet mehr, als sie sich jemals hätten vorstellen können ... Monate, nachdem ein Super-EMP-Angriff die Vereinigten Staaten verwüstete, ist das Land nicht mehr wiederzuerkennen. Alle großen Städte sind in der Hand von marodierenden Banden, während die Überlebenden Hungers sterben und die Regierung machtlos gegen die Gesetzlosigkeit im Land ist.

When she reveals how the Baumgartners and the nanny, Gretchen, had seduced her during her time in Key West, her husband takes it upon himself to make some phone calls. Opportunity, or perhaps fate, presents itself, and Ronnie and her husband get an invitation to join Gretchen and the Baumgartners on their vacation.
