The forgotten ones, at least, go to The Cafe of Minor Authors where they drink endless cups of cappuccino, self-obsess, and nurse their shattered dreams. Some authors, it's rumored, can escape Oblivion if they try hard enough to write something the universe can't ignore, even after death. This is the story of one ambitious writer stuck in oblivion who not only risks upturning his own fate but also the fate of his literary hero, and that of his great grandmother, Hanna, an aspiring actor in the Yiddish theater in the Prague of 1911. This book is for anyone who has ever wanted to be an author, anyone who knows an author, anyone who is an author, recognized or not, and anyone who loves books enough to want to spend their afterlife reading forgotten classics in the great library of Oblivion. \u003c\/p\u003e  \"A mesmerizing meditation on immortality, both the literary and fleshly kinds and its ultimate unattainability... like language, like summer, like love, Oblivion is irresistible\u003cstrong\u003e.\"\u003c\/strong\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eJunot Diaz\u003c\/strong\u003e, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\"A tour de force.
