Rain Taxi is pleased to welcome back to our event series acclaimed writer Paul Auster on the occasion of the release of 4321, possibly his most amazing novel yet—a sweeping and surprising story of birthright and possibility, of love and of life itself. Auster will both read from this work and participate in an onstage discussion about it with Rain Taxi editor Eric Lorberer.

“Auster has been turning readers’ heads for three decades, bending the conventions of storytelling. . . . He now presents his most capacious, demanding, eventful, suspenseful, erotic, structurally audacious, funny, and soulful novel to date . . . [a] ravishing opus.”
―Booklist (starred review)
