Description
Bones, a canine companion, accompanies his poet-saint friend Willy G. Christmas on a journey to Baltimore, Maryland, in search of his old teacher, Bea Swanson. Years have passed since Willy last saw Bea, who used to know him as William Gurevitch, son of Polish war refugees. The quest is driven by a desire to understand what will prevent Willy from disappearing into the world of Timbuktu.
Paul Auster's novel explores the complex relationships between people and their pasts, as Willy navigates the intersection of his own identity and the memories of those who have shaped him.
