Original and complex . . . . A monumental assemblage of competing and complementary fictions, a novel that contains multitudes.Tom Perrotta, The New York Times Book ReviewA stunningly ambitious novel, and a pleasure to read. . . . An incredibly moving, true journey.NPRNew York Times Bestseller,Los Angeles Times Bestseller,Boston Globe Bestseller, National Indiebound BestsellerPaul Austers greatest, most heartbreaking and satisfying novela sweeping and surprising story of birthright and possibility, of love and of life itself.Nearly two weeks early, on March 3, 1947, in the maternity ward of Beth Israel Hospital in Newark, New Jersey, Archibald Isaac Ferguson, the one and only child of Rose and Stanley Ferguson, is born. From that single beginning, Fergusons life will take four simultaneous and independent fictional paths. Four identical Fergusons made of the same DNA, four boys who are the same boy, go on to lead four parallel and entirely different lives. Family fortunes diverge. Athletic skills and sex lives and friendships and intellectual passions contrast. Each Ferguson falls under the spell of the magnificent Amy Schneiderman, yet each Amy and each Ferguson have a relationship like no other. Meanwhile, readers will take in each Fergusons pleasures and ache from each Fergusons pains, as the mortal plot of each Fergusons life rushes on.As inventive and dexterously constructed as anything Paul Auster has ever written, yet with a passion for realism and a great tenderness and fierce attachment to history and to life itself that readers have never seen from Auster before. 4 3 2 1 is a marvelous and unforgettably affecting tour de force.
