Synopsis
David Zimmer, a literature professor, loses his wife and children in an accident, and afterwards buries his grief by devoting himself to the writing of a book about a silent-film star named Hector Mann. Surprisingly, Mann turns out to be alive, and eager to meet Zimmer and tell the remains of his story, some of which sounds oddly familiar to Zimmer as it echoes the tribulations of his own life. A New York Times Notable Book for 2002.

Industry Reviews
"THE BOOK OF ILLUSIONS sits somewhere in the middle of Auster's work, between the postmodern mysteries...and questing novels....It is a book with many pleasures, augmented by the muted grace of Auster's narrative voice....He is gifted at making the intellectual life sexy."
New York Times Book Review - D. T. Max (09/01/2002)
