AUSTER PAUL PAUL AUSTERS THE NEW YORK TRILOGY

From award-winning novelist Paul Auster comes the graphic adaptation of his deeply beloved
series  The New York Trilogy   a postmodern take on detective and noir fiction.   In 1994  Paul
Auster's City of Glass was adapted into a graphic novel and became an immediate cult classic 
published in over 30 editions worldwide  excerpted in The Norton Anthology of Postmodern
Fiction. B ut City of Glass was only the first novel in a series of books  Auster's acclaimed
New York Trilogy   and graphic novel readers have been waiting for years for the other two
tales to be translated into comics.  Now the wait is over.   The New York Trilogy is
post-modern literature disguised as Noir fiction where language is the prime suspect. An
interpretation of detective and mystery fiction  each book explores various philosophical
themes. In City of Glass   an author of detective fiction investigates a murder and descends
into madness. Ghosts features a private eye named Blue  trailing a man named Black  for a
client called White. This too ends with the protagonist’s downfall. And in The Locked Room  
another author is experiencing writer’s block  and hopes to brake it by solving the
disappearance of his childhood friend. The second two parts of this trilogy will be appearing
in this volume for the very first time as a graphic novel.  Paul Karasik  the mastermind behind
the three adaptations  art directed all three books. City of Glass is illustrated by the
award-winning cartoonist David Mazzucchielli  the second volume  Ghosts  is illustrated by New
Yorker cover artist  Lorenzo Mattotti  and The Locked Room is adapted and drawn by Karasik
himself. These adaptations take Auster’s sophisticated wordplay and translate it into
comicsplay: both highbrow and lowbrow and immensely fun reading.
