by Paul Auster (Author)

From New York Times bestselling author Paul Auster, a dystopian, post-apocalyptic novel "reminiscent in many ways of Orwell's 1984" (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution).

"Powerful, original, imaginative, and handled with artistry . . . One of the better modern attempts at describing hell."--The Washington Post Book World

In a distant and unsettling future, the masses are homeless, theft is so rampant it is no longer a crime, and death--by arranging either a suicide or an assassination--is the only way out.

It is in these circumstances that Anna Blume begins her search for her brother, a one-time journalist who may or may not still be alive, in an unnamed city whose destitute inhabitants dig through garbage and elusive government provides nothing but corruption. In her struggle to survive, Anna becomes a scavenger of objects from the past to sell for food and shelter. But she will also find friendship--and even love--in this devastated world.

In the Country of Last Things is a tour de force that reaffirms Paul Auster's stature as one of the most accomplished and singular talents of his generation.
