The New York Trilogy

Name: The New York Trilogy
Author: Paul Auster

by Paul Auster · 1987

Literary Fiction · ranked #221 in category

Three connected detective novels — City of Glass, Ghosts, The Locked Room — in which the conventions of detective fiction are systematically dismantled: detectives lose their identities, the cases dissolve, the distinctions between investigator and subject collapse. Auster's debut fiction is a postmodern meditation on identity, language and the impossibility of knowing anything with certainty.
