Hello, everyone, I'm gonna tell you about this book, Brooklyn Follies.
It was written by Paul Auster and it tells us about a 60-year-old man
who suffers from lung cancer and ..., but fortunately it's in remission
and he goes back to live in Brooklyn after a long time, after his divorce.
And, well, he's looking for some peace, to die there.
But it doesn't happen, he finds a life there.
He makes a lot of friends, Celtic New York people.
And, well, he gets in love, he marries, he gets in touch with his nephew, Tom,
who also seems to have given up in life.
And he tries to write a book about human follies,
and he tries to make an account about every stupid thing he's done in his life.
His nephew Tom is working as a taxi driver, and he also works at a book store with a man, I can't remember now his name.
But he's gay and he's got a mate who's a transvestite ... his name, I can't remember now.
They go to a trip looking for a nephew, a nine-year-old nephew,
who's in a bad family situation, because of an Evangelical fundamentalist background or something ...
and they try to save her ... And ... everything's happened in his life.
He's got his family back at the end.
He's got a daughter, Rachel, who's been far away from him for a long while.
She gets pregnant, and she gets in touch with him at the end of the book and tells him he's gonna be a grandad and
they will be close. He also gets married, so everything happens to him and nothing compared with what was expected.
And, that's all.
