Oracle Night is a 2004 novel by Paul Auster. The Guardian calls the novel a "postmodern ghost story". The work is reminiscent of that of Vladimir Nabokov, and the novel is about a writer named Sidney Orr (a short, Americanized version of the Polish surname Orlovsky), who, after making a miraculous recovery from near fatal illness, buys a new notebook and starts writing a story about a man who completely changed his life when he realised how much his existence was ruled by coincidence.

- Oracle Night is a 2004 novel by Paul Auster. The Guardian calls the novel a "postmodern ghost story". The work is reminiscent of that of Vladimir Nabokov, and the novel is about a writer named Sidney Orr (a short, Americanized version of the Polish surname Orlovsky), who, after making a miraculous recovery from near fatal illness, buys a new notebook and starts writing a story about a man who completely changed his life when he realised how much his existence was ruled by coincidence. The base premises for the book is this, Sidney Orr trying to come back to his life and begin writing again, but a lot of things happen in his life at the same time, and the reader gets introduced not only to Sidney's work and personal life, but also in some extent to the life of the person in his work-in-progress novel. Before the end of this period in Sidney's life, events will take place that are truly life-altering, and Sidney will, much like the fictional character he writes of, have to deal with issues and questions he has previously (perhaps unconsciously) been avoiding for several years.
- Nacht des Orakel ist ein Roman von Paul Auster aus dem Jahr 2003.
- En La noche del Oráculo, Paul Auster narra, una vez más, una historia sobre la literatura, las relaciones humanas, el amor y la muerte, el miedo y el perdón, en el escenario de la ciudad de Nueva York. El protagonista, el escritor Sidney Orr, un trasunto del propio Auster, se lanza de nuevo a la vida después de haber vivido una fatal experiencia que lo situó al borde de la muerte. En su vuelta a la vida, física y mental, se enfrenta de nuevo al desafío de la página en blanco, con la ayuda de un singular cuaderno portugués, que le inspira una historia que se entrecruzará con la suya propia a lo largo de toda la novela, hasta el punto de llegar a plantear la tesis de que sean las propias palabras la que desencadenen los sucesos en la realidad. Lo real y lo imaginado se enlazan como las caras de una moneda hasta el desenlace de las historias "reales", centradas en la relación con su esposa; un amigo de ambos, afamado escritor y el atribulado señor Chang, vendedor de la papelería. Sin embargo, los personajes imaginados tienen igual peso y se ven arrastrados por las mismas pasiones, hasta llegar a confundir al propio lector, sobre si Auster/Orr trama sus historias o éstas le arrastran a él. El juego de cajas chinas encierra el esbozo de una historia, dentro de la narración que escribe el propio Orr; esa historia es la que lleva por título La noche del Oráculo.
