Peter Aaron is haunted by the sudden and violent end of Benjamin Sachs, a once-promising writer.
Their friendship, forged in youthful ambition, fractured years ago.
Now, driven by a need to understand, Peter delves into Ben’s final days.
He uncovers a path of escalating isolation, a cryptic manuscript titled “Leviathan” and a disturbing secret that cracks Peter’s world wide open.
Paul Auster was a prolific American writer who left his mark on literature with novels, essays, screenplays, and even films.
Born in Newark, New Jersey, Auster’s life was touched by a defining moment at a young age: witnessing a friend’s death by lightning.
This experience would later echo in themes of chance and mortality within his work.
