Synopsis "Creia que mi Padre era Dios. Relatos Veridicos de la Vida Estadounidense (in Spanish)"

Paul Auster invitó a los oyentes del programa de radio en que colaboraba a participar en un proyecto inusual: enviar sus historias verídicas, con el afán de construir un retrato escrito de la vida de su país. El escritor estadounidense seleccionó, con su peculiar mirada, ciento ochenta textos que fabulan una realidad llena de coincidencias, hallazgos y situaciones tan absurdas que parecen inventadas. Creía que mi padre era Dios es una antología de relatos reales y extraordinarios, una selección del autor que es un reflejo de los temas que recorren toda su obra, como el azar, la coincidencia y lo insólito de la vida cotidiana.
