Boots, on the Officer's Reserve list, was called onto the staff of General Sir Henry Sims, and Polly Sims herself joined the Auxiliaries. And the first alarms of conflict began to affect the Adams family in other ways. Then, as the clouds of war gathered over Europe, Jonathan got his call-up papers. Over a long and hazy summer - the summer of 1939 - the two young people met, always at lunchtime and never allowing their friendship to progress too far. Jonathan got a job at Camberwell Green, and it was there, in Lyons teashop, that he met Emma Somers, niece of Boots Adams. They settled quickly into London life - particularly Jonathan, the eldest. They got it cheap because of the poltergiest, but they were sensible folk and decided that eight shillings a week rent was a bargain, and - well - if the floors and doors sometimes moved a bit, they could live with it. They had both lived in a Sussex village until lack of work had sent Job and the family to Walworth - to a house in Stead Street. Job and Jemima Hardy weren't Londoners by birth.

They're the same person, in a way, but their lives follow dramatically different paths. (Auster himself was born in the same city, exactly one month earlier.) Each chapter is divided into four numbered sections, corresponding with each different version of Ferguson. The Ferguson quoting Voltaire to his girlfriend is just one of four Fergusons: "Identical but different, meaning four boys with the same parents, the same bodies, and the same genetic material, but each one living in a different house in a different town with his own set of circumstances."Ĥ 3 2 1 follows all four Fergusons from their births to a Jewish family on March 3, 1947, in Newark, N.J. And he shares this belief with the three other iterations of him that make up Auster's bold, remarkable novel. It's hard for Ferguson to believe that he's living in the best of all possible worlds. "Everything always happens for the best - in this, the best of all possible worlds." Toward the middle of Paul Auster's new novel, 4 3 2 1, young Archie Ferguson, recovering from a car accident that could have killed him, quotes the satire Candide to his optimistic girlfriend.

These economies only really tend to intersect at literary prize time, when the stamp of a prestigious prize on a book cover can persuade a bookstore browser to pick something up that they might otherwise have passed over.Īnd when these prizes, particularly the Pulitzer, fall down on that job, novelists are usually quick to remind them of the role. There are, as the critic Laura Miller has often said, two economies at work in book publishing: (1) the prestige economy, which is where the awards and the Reviews of Books come in and (2) the sales economy, which is where most of the paperback thrillers live. They know that the Pulitzer stamp can sell a book. Awards are not cumulative, and in the case of something like the Pulitzers, the jurors often have another goal in mind: sales. But book awards, in America at least, are not like the Oscars. My educated guess is “no”, as it was published in 2012, which was around the time that Disney and Lucasfilm were in talks for a buy-out.
