About The New York Trilogy To care about words, to have a stake in what is written, to believe in the power of books – this overwhelms the rest, and beside it one’s life becomes very small. The New York Trilogy, the three novels that made Auster’s reputation as a global literary star, exploit the well known elements of detective fiction to create a radical form of the mystery story. Shadowing a suspect, searching for clues, and uncovering patterns that hold the secret to hidden plot are transformed into an existential investigation—nothing less than questioning what it means to be human. Disturbing, profound, and wholly original, this trio of tales from a master storyteller continues to shake up readers all over the world. ‘Marks a new departure for the American novel.’ Observer ‘A shatteringly clever piece of work . . . Utterly gripping, written with an acid sharpness that leaves an indelible dent in the back of the mind.’ Sunday Telegraph ‘One of the great American prose stylists of our time.’ New York Times ‘Auster really does possess the wand of the enchanter.’ New York Review of Books Please note that this edition went to print before Paul Auster sadly passed away on 30th April 2024 and the author biography has not been updated.
