Paul Auster was nominated for the Booker Prize in 2017 for his novel 4321. In this brilliantly unique book, four parallel and entirely different lives, a young boy grows up - again and again and again.
On March 3, 1947 Archibald Isaac Ferguson is born. From that single beginning, his life takes on the simultaneous and independent fictional paths of four boys made of the same genetic material, four boys who are the same boy. The rotating narratives evolve into an elaborate dance of inner worlds enfolded within the outer forces of history as, one by one, the intimate plots of the four Fergusons’ stories rush on across the tumultuous and fractured terrain of mid-20th century America.
