Summary: To care about words, to have a stake in what is written, to believe in the power of books – this overwhelms the rest, and beside it one’s life becomes very small. The New York Trilogy, the three novels that made Auster’s reputation as a global literary star, exploit the well known elements of detective fiction to create a radical form of the mystery story. Shadowing a suspect, searching for clues, and uncovering patterns that hold the secret to hidden plot are transformed into an existential investigation—nothing less than questioning what it means to be human. Disturbing, profound, and wholly original, this trio of tales from a master storyteller continues to shake up readers all over the world. https://www.faber.co.uk/product/9780571389902-the-new-york-trilogy/?srsltid=AfmBOorwAZ5s5uXOHjk6GXGSCKD5ysaX-OnrkXtRXJiNh6RKvFLunRF3
