One of the most iconic novels by the renowned Paul Auster, author of the intellectual bestsellers “The New York Trilogy” and “The Book of Illusions,” “Night of the Oracle” and “Timbuktu.” A fireman receives an inheritance from a father he has never met, buys a red “ Saab" and sets off to travel all over the United States of America until the money runs out. Having picked up a young gambler, he has no idea that he is destined to witness the most unusual poker game in the Midwest, and get up close and personal with the stones that made up a fifteenth-century English castle, and play Baroque music on a synthesizer in a cramped trailer. Roman was filmed by Philip Haas, a famous interpreter of such works of modern classics as “Angels and Insects” by Antonia Byatt, “In the Villa” by Somerset Maugham, “The Kings” by John Hawkes, “The Cutter of Heaven” by Ursula Le Guin.
