- Synopsis
- In a Pennsylvania meadow, a young fireman and an angry gambler are forced to build a wall of fifteenth-century stone, For Jim Nashe, it all started when he came into a small inheritance and left Boston in pursuit of a "life of freedom. " Careening back and forth across the United States, waiting for the money to run out, Nashe met Jack Pozzi, a young man with a temper and a plan. With Nashe's last funds, they entered a poker game against two rich eccentrics, "risking everything on the single blind turn of a card. "In Paul Auster's world of fiendish bargains and punitive whims, where chance is a shifting and powerful force, there is redemption, nonetheless, in Nashe's resolute quest for justice and his capacity for love.
