Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Paul Auster's signature work, The New York Trilogy, consists of three interlocking novels: City of Glass, Ghosts, and The Locked Room — haunting and mysterious tales that move at the breathless pace of a thriller.
City of Glass
Ghosts
The Locked Room Features an introduction from Luc Sante and incredible cover illustrations by Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic artist Art Spiegelman, creator of Maus and In the Shadow of No Towers. Review:"Eminently readable and mysterious...Auster has added some new dimensions to modern literature and — more importantly even — to our perspectives on the planet." Fanny Howe, The Boston Globe Review:"Three exhilarating installments...a brilliant investigation of the storyteller's art guided by a writer-detective who's never satisfied with just the facts." The Philadelphia Inquirer Review:"Auster harnesses the inquiring spirit any reader brings to a mystery, redirecting it from the grubby search for a wrongdoer to the more rarefied search for self." The New York Times Book Review Review:"The New York Trilogy is nothing less than truly scintillating....A work of manifest originally, if not genius....Satisfying, even electrifying." San Francisco Examiner Synopsis:First published in 1985-"1986, "The New York Trilogy "("City of Glass, Ghosts," and "The Locked Room") brought immediate international attention to its author, Paul Auster, and elevated him to near-celebrity status, particularly in France. This trilogy and his many works since then (including "In the Country of Last Words," "Leviathan," "Mr. Vertigo," "Moon Palace," and others) have been translated into numerous languages and have brought him further world attention. Auster's trilogy broke ground in its mix of serious fictional techniques and detective and mystery genres. Geoffrey O'Brien of "The Village Voice "wrote: ""The New York Trilogy "are novels of desire: the desire to write a detective novel, to read one, to -inhabit it. . . . By turning the mystery novel inside out, Auster may have -initiated a whole new round of storytelling." This new edition will delight readers and collectors of Auster's work.
