The New York Trilogy by Paul Auster - three captivating postmodern novels published back in the mid-1980s.I have been struggling to say goodbye to something for a long time now, and this struggle is all that really matters. Then she looked out the window, through which it was quite possible that she could see me and my binoculars. Not only was it the letter ‘i’, standing for ‘investigator’, it was ‘I’ in the upper case, the tiny life-bud buried in the body of the breathing self.

I read ShovelMoney1's review who says, 'a study on the watched and the watcher in a sort of claustrophobic ever decreasing circles format'. Because that brand of idiocy butters no parsnips with me - I got over that kind of nonsense as a freshman in college.I was surprised by this novel - it was not at all what I had expected - and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. As Blue struggles to piece the case together, he begins to feel a deep identification with the target, Black. Say that you found his plots predictable; say that you found his characters unsympathetic; say whatever the fuck you want. The reader is at once drawn into the world of detection and obsessive surveillance only to find him- or herself thoroughly taken in by the existential and literary mysteries you put before us in the three short novels— City of Glass, Ghosts, and The Locked Room—that form the Trilogy.

When Stillman disappears from the hotel, Quinn decides to contact the real detective, Paul Auster, and ask for his help on the case. And what is true of a detective's report is truer for works of great literature: there is a rich, vital, vibrant world of feeling and imagination beyond the confines of words and language. Escritores metidos a detectives y detectives que parecen escritores (no es una novela de detectives, sí de escritores) que en un momento de sus vidas se dan cuenta de que no son ellos quienes las dirigen y se rebelan de la mejor forma que pueden.Auster takes you deep into the heart of his own obsession with Crane’s extraordinary, radical writings and it’s almost impossible not to be infected by his enthusiasm. One key postmodern idea is that a book isn't so much about the world as it is about joining the conversation with other books. Now, it is not my aim to create a sort of synchronicity between any two books I have on the go at any certain time. although I'm still thinking how much I liked it and what the h*** does Auster mean with those three stories that seem to make a full circle.
