Paul Auster 
New York Trilogy [EPUB ebook] 

The contemporary classic from 'our supreme post-modernist' (Ian Mc Ewan) – expanding the possibilities of the noir detective novel – whose writing 'shines with intelligence and originality' (Don De Lillo)The New York Trilogy is the most astonishing work by America's most consistently astonishing writer: three interconnected novels that exploit the riveting elements of classic detective fiction to achieve a radical new genre – a profound and unsettling existentialist enquiry in the tradition of Kafka or Borges. In each story the search for clues leads to remarkable coincidences in the universe as the simple act of trailing a man ultimately becomes a startling investigation of what it means to be human. The result is the modern novel at its finest which will shock, transfix and astound every reader. '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
