A famous reclusive writer and his three sons find their bond tested by the weight of long-held secrets and a cumbersome legacy shaped by boarding school, Hollywood, and the elite circles of the publishing world.
"Who is A. N. Dyer? For fans of 'The Art of Fielding' and 'Wonder Boys' - this is the panoramic, deeply affecting story of an iconic novelist and the heartbreaking truths that fiction can hide."
"Es gibt sie immer mal wieder, diese Romane, die jede Generation aufs Neue elektrisieren, die für viele Leser zu Lebensbüchern werden. "Der Fänger im Roggen" zum Beispiel. In Gilberts neuen Roman gibt es neben Salingers Meisterwerk ein weiteres solches Buch, das Weltruhm erlangt hat: "Ampersand". Sein Autor, A.N. Dyer, hat diesen Ruhm aber längst überlebt, er ist alt geworden, leidet unter allerlei Gebrechen, er weiss, dass er seine Kreativität verloren hat. Als sein bester Freund stirbt, lädt er seine drei Söhne zu sich ein, um ihnen ein Geheimnis anzuvertrauen - eine Enthüllung, die nicht alle überleben werden. David Gilbert entwirft ein hinreissendes Panorama der edlen und eitlen Literaturwelt New Yorks, er erzählt von dem hohen Preis künstlerischer Kreativität und davon, wie sich Väter und Söhne die Luft zum Atmen nehmen. "Was aus uns wird" ist gnadenlos klug, oft hochkomisch und immer berührend, es ist ein Roman von grosser erzählerischer Wucht."
