At a fair in Kansas in 1927, 12-year-old orphan Walter Clairborne Rawley walks the skies. It is the beginning of a miraculous career. But soon Walt advised – cheeky, sharp-tongued, and never at a loss for a trick – and his teacher Yehudi in the sights of America’s rogues and gangsters.
Paul Auster’s adventurous novel is a parable of economic advancement and moral decay, a play on the myths and ideals of a country that still feels innocent but long endangered by greed and arrogance.
