Paul Auster's dazzling, picaresque novel is the story of one Walter Claireborne Rawley, renowned nationwide as „Walt the Wonder Boy.”
It is the late 1920's, the era of Babe Ruth, Charles Lindbergh, and Al Capone, and Walt is a Saint Louis orphan rescued frm the streets by the mysterious Hungarian Master Yehudi, who teaches Walt to walk on air. The vaudeville act that results from Walt's marvelous new abiltiy takes them across a vast and vibrant country, where they meet and fall prey to sinners, thieves, and villains, from the Kansas Ku Klux Klan to the Chicago mob. Walt's rise to fame and fortune mirrors America's own coming of age, and his resilience, like that of the nation, is challenged over and over again.
Mr. Vertigo is a bravura celebration of a raucous age, an ambitious and enduringly brilliant tale of trial and triumph.

Paul Auster: Mr. Vertigo (angol)

A fülszövegböl itelve, ugy gondoltam, h ez nem fog tetszeni, aztan ez is beszippantott, mint ahogy a legtöbb Auster könyv. Vegig izgultam hogy mi lesz Walterrel, aztan kicsit kurtan-furcsan lett vege, de meg igy is nagy elmeny volt.
