“Paul Auster’s groundbreaking New York Trilogy could give meta-fiction good name… They’re wickedly clever brain-ticklers” (Los Angeles Herald-Examiner). This critically praised series of three novels turn “the detective genre into something tonier: the gumshoes in their chilly pages keep meeting doppelgangers and spitting out references to Don Quixote and Hawthorne and Thoreau. And the more they stalk their eccentric quarry, the more they seem actually to be stalking the Big Questions—the implications of authorship, the enigmas of epistemology, the veils and masks of language” (New York Times).
