After losing his wife and children in a plane crash, David Zimmer, a writer and professor, immerses himself in writing a book about Hector Mann, a vanished silent film actor. Zimmer's life takes an unexpected turn when he receives a letter from a woman claiming to be Mann's wife, inviting him to meet the actor in New Mexico. There, Mann has been filming movies that no one has seen and that will be destroyed after his death. 'The Book of Illusions', Paul Auster's tenth novel, is a tribute to cinema, where the life of Hector Mann intertwines with that of Professor Zimmer, blurring the line between fiction and reality.
