Paul Auster |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| The American writer Paul Auster came to prominence in 1987 with The New York Trilogy, three stories in which the author delivers a postmodern take on the detective genre, including literary allusions, coincidences, stories within stories, and even referring to himself as a fictitious character within the narrative. The three fictions, City of Glass, Ghosts, and The Locked Room are interconnected in mysterious ways and deal with the search for identity. | ||||||
