Man in the Dark is a novel by Paul Auster published in August 2008. Its topic is a dystopian scenario of the present-day United States being torn apart by a new secession and civil war after the presidential elections of 2000. (The fictional division between the secessionist and loyal states is very similar to the " Jesusland" map.) This is told within a frame narrative of an aging journalist reflecting on his family and the death of his wife.
