These three novels brought Auster international acclaim for his creation of a new genre, mixing elements of the standard detective fiction and postmodern fiction. City of Glass combines dark, Kafka-like humor with all the suspense of a Hitchcock film as a writer of detective stories becomes embroiled in a complex and puzzling series of events, beginning with a call from a stranger in the middle of the night asking for the author - Paul Auster - himself. Ghosts, the second volume of this interconnected trilogy, introduces Blue, a private detective hired to watch a man named Black, who, as he becomes intermeshed into a haunting and claustrophobic game of hide-and-seek, is lured into the very trap he has created. The final volume, The Locked Room, also begins with a mystery, told this time in the first-person narrative. The nameless hero journeys into the unknown as he attempts to reconstruct the past which he has experienced almost as a dream. Together these three fictions lead the reader on adventures that expand the mind as they entertain.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"New York Trilogy: City of Glass\/Ghosts\/The Locked Room | Paul Auster | Paperback | 9780140131550 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks B 1777263","offer_id":49765691293848,"sku":"1777263","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61liQ4jm6XL.jpg?v=1787970590","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/new-york-trilogy-city-of-glass-ghosts-the-locked-room-1","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
