El único hecho inmutable en la vida de Ferguson es que nació el 3 de marzo de 1947 en Newark, Nueva Jersey. A partir de ese momento, varios caminos se abren ante él y le llevarán a vivir cuatro vidas completamente distintas, a crecer y a explorar de formas diferentes el amor, la amistad, la familia, el arte, la política e incluso la muerte, con algunos de los acontecimientos que han marcado la segunda mitad del siglo xx americano como telón de fondo.
¿Y si hubieras actuado de otra forma en un momento crucial de tu vida? 4 3 2 1, la primera novela de Paul Auster después de siete años, es un emotivo retrato de toda una generación, un coming of age universal y una saga familiar que explora de manera deslumbrante los límites del azar y las consecuencias de nuestras decisiones. Porque todo suceso, por irrelevante que parezca, abre unas posibilidades y cierra otras.

Shay Benson adored her younger brother, Caden, and that got her into trouble. When he owed money, Shay realized she would do anything to help him avoid the men who were threatening him, and she crossed lines she never should have crossed. Now, determined to start fresh, she finds herself in search of a place to stay and wanders into a church to escape from the cold.
Pastor Drew Douglas adored his wife. But when he lost her, it was all he could do to focus on his two beautiful kids, and his flock came in a distant third. Now, as he too is thinking about a fresh start, he walks through his sanctuary and finds Shay sitting in a pew. The pair strike up a friendship—Perhaps most important, Shay learns to trust again as she, in turn, proves herself trustworthy to her adopted community. But Caden’s return to town and a disastrous secret threaten to undo the life Shay has tried so hard to rebuild.
