EDGAR AWARD NOMINEE - In this stunning debut novel, the first volume in Paul Auster's acclaimed The New York Trilogy, an author determined to solve a mystery begins to descend into madness.

"Remarkable . . . The book is a pleasure to read, full of suspense and action. . . . [A] strange and powerful adventure."-The New York Times Book Review

  After a strange phone call in the middle of the night, Quinn, an author of detective stories, becomes enmeshed in a case more puzzling than any he might have written. Composed with hallucinatory clarity, City of Glass combines dark humor with Hitchcock-like suspense.

  City of Glass inaugurates the intriguing New York Trilogy of novels that The Washington Post Book World has classified as "post-existential private eye. . . . It's as if Kafka has gotten hooked on the gumshoe game and penned his own ever-spiraling version."  

The brilliant installments of Paul Auster's The New York Trilogy include: CITY OF GLASS - GHOSTS - THE LOCKED ROOM
