Sunset Park opens with twenty-eight-year-old Miles Heller trashing out foreclosed houses in Florida, the latest stop in his flight across the country. When Miles falls in love with Pilar Sanchez, he finds himself fleeing once again, going back to New York, where his family still lives, and into an abandoned house of young squatters in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Woven together from various points of view--that of Miles's father, an independent book publisher trying to stay afloat, Miles's mother, a celebrated actress preparing her return to the New York stage, and the various men and women who live in the house.

"<<Sunset Park>> beschreibt die Hoffnungen und Sorgen einer unvergesslichen Schar von Menschen, die in den dunkelsten Zeiten der jüngsten amerikanischen Wirtschaftskrise zusammenkommen: ein rätselhafter junger Mann, der wie besessen Trümmer fotografiert; eine kühle Cineastin mit Hang zum Androgynen; ein politischer Aktivist, der in seiner Klinik für kaputte Dinge Artefakte einer verschwundenen Welt repariert; eine Malerin erotischer Themen; eine einst gefeierte Schauspielerin, die sich auf ihr Comeback am Broadway vorbereitet; ein Kleinverleger, der versucht, seinen Verlag und seine Ehe zu retten. Die dramatischen Ereignisse, die das Schicksal von Austers Helden verbinden, kulminieren in einem besetzten Haus im heruntergekommenen Stadtteil Sunset Park, Brooklyn, und sie zeichnen ein bewegendes Bild des heutigen Amerika und seiner inneren Dämonen."
