About 4 3 2 1 by Paul Auster
Born on March 3, 1947, in Newark, New Jersey, Archibald Isaac Ferguson is the starting point for four simultaneous, independent versions of a life. Paul Auster’s novel follows these identical boys—each the same person, but shaped by different circumstances—as their family fortunes, abilities, friendships, relationships, and intellectual interests diverge.
Each Ferguson encounters Amy Schneiderman, though the relationships unfold differently along each path. Ambitious in structure and attentive to the possibilities of a life, 4 3 2 1 may appeal to readers interested in literary fiction, parallel narratives, and stories that explore how circumstances shape a person’s course.
