Als er im Sterben lag, sagte Paul Auster seiner Frau, er wolle ein Geist werden. Und das ist er für Siri Hustvedt geworden: eine allzeit spürbare Präsenz, schmerzlich und tröstlich zugleich. Sie trägt seine Jacke, sie meint seine Zigarillos im Haus zu riechen, sie liest seine Bücher von neuem.

Mit ihrem beispiellosen Trauer-, Gedächtnis- und Liebesbuch nähert sie sich dem unmöglichen Wunsch, Paul zu neuem Leben zu erwecken.

Elsewhere, he writes of a violent youth and of settled domesticity and fatherhood, about the omnipresent expectations and contradictions of masculinity, about the things writers remember and those they forget.
