Nearly two weeks early, on March 3, 1947, in the maternity ward of Beth Israel Hospital in Newark, New Jersey, Archibald Isaac Ferguson, the one and only child of Rose and Stanley Ferguson, is born. From that single beginning, Ferguson’s life will take four simultaneous and independent fictional paths. Four identical Fergusons made of the same DNA, four boys who are the same boy, go on to lead four parallel and entirely different lives. Family fortunes diverge. Athletic skills and sex lives and friendships and intellectual passions contrast. Each Henry Holt Ferguson falls under the spell of the magnificent Amy January 31st 2017 Schneiderman, yet each Amy and each Ferguson have a relationship like no other. Meanwhile, readers will take in each Ferguson’s pleasures and ache from each Ferguson’s pains, as the mortal plot of each Ferguson’s life rushes on. As inventive and dexterously constructed as anything Paul Auster has ever written, yet with a passion for realism and a great tenderness and fierce attachment to history and to life itself that readers have never seen from Auster before. 4 3 2 1 is a marvelous and unforgettably affecting tour de force.

But as Car and Driver columnist Yates points out in this captivating, demythologizing biography, none of Ferrari's racing cars "was a glittering example of daring technology," and he had almost no hand in the Random House U.S. making of the later road cars that bore his name. Penguin UK 2 Revealed as a hot-tempered megalomaniac given to loud 2018 belching and countless amorous conquests, Ferrari fathered an illegitimate child and led a shadowy second Rights sold: life as a respite from the "simmering hatred" of his marriage. He portrayed himself as a loyal "motorized Chinese knight-errant," defending Italy's national honor, but in Italian Yates's esimate he was interested solely in winning races Czech and sometimes pushed his drivers to dangerous extremes. Danish Yates deftly records the carnage of major races, business Ukrainian wheeling and dealing, and the political dimensions of motor racing from the pre-WW II Rome-Berlin Axis to today's ribbon-waving nationalism.
