Whereas three strands in Barnett’s novel was manageable, keeping track of four Archies initially seemed more challenging, particularly as the cast of characters is fairly large. However, I was intrigued by the multi-layered concept of exploring alternative lives of the same characters – a “what if” premise I have enjoyed in other novels such as The Versions of Us by Laura Barnett. I haven’t read any Auster before and his latest novel is partly autobiographical and seems to be a departure from his typically more concise work. You may already be aware that ‘4 3 2 1’ is very long – 866 pages in total which took me just under two weeks to read. The parallel structure means that each of the seven parts is rewound three times before moving on to the next stage in Archie’s life covering his early childhood through to his coming-of-age in the late 1960s. Descended from Russian-Jewish immigrants, Archie is the only child of Rose and Stanley Ferguson and during his early childhood, random events change the path of his life splitting into four different trajectories – in one version his parents divorce, in another they stay together, in another Stanley dies, and so on. Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize last year, ‘4 3 2 1’ by Paul Auster consists of four different versions of the life of Archibald Issac Ferguson, born in Newark, New Jersey in 1947 (the same year as Auster).

Fung - whose groundbreaking work in the treatment of obesity and diabetes has won him international acclaim - suggests that the primary disease pathway of cancer is caused by the dysregulation of insulin. Fung identifies the medical community's many missteps in cancer research - in particular, its focus on genetics, or what he terms the seed of cancer, at the expense of examining the soil, or the conditions under which cancer flourishes. Jason Fung offers a revolutionary new understanding of this invasive, often fatal disease - what it is, how it manifests, and why it is so challenging to treat.

There are parts of this book that left me very uncomfortable-and which I am still very uncomfortable about. It's also not a book for people who can't handle nuance about things that should not be nuanced. This is not a book for people who can't handle criticism of the Catholic church. The main female protagonist of this book has sex with a great many people during the course of the book, both male and female, including an underage boy, although she didn't know he was underage at the time-but she also didn't ask-and I am so not okay with anything about that scene and it makes me feel sick just thinking about it and the main male protagonist is married (although he and his wife are separated, and his wife had an affair with another man). I am recommending this book, but I should be very, very clear and let you all know that if you read this, expect pain. There's no way to talk about this without including spoilers, so I'm going to spoiler tag liberally. If I were grading this book based on how comfortable it made me feel, it would probably be right around zero stars. There is so much in this book that just blows past my comfort zones. This is not a traditional romance, and most people would probably say that this is not a romance at all. I just want to make things clear right off the bat.
