FROM THE PUBLISHER - From the creator of the highly acclaimed, widely successful graphic novels Maus and Maus II comes Neon Lit, an innovative series of graphic crime novels. First in the series is City of Glass, universally praised as a contemporary classic upon its publication in 1985. A film based on the novel is currently in pre-production. Described by Sulfur magazine as the most singular prose stylist of his generation . Paul Auster has created in CITY OF GLASS a haunting and mysterious tale that moves at the breathless pace of a good thriller. Receiving a phone call from a stranger in the middle of the night, a writer of detective stories becomes embroiled in a case more puzzling and complex than any book he might have written. Who is Peter Stillman? And why is his father trying to kill him? Or is the father really someone else? And if so, who is the person about to he murdered? For Quinn, who goes out in search of the answers to these questions, the city becomes an inexhaustible space. a labyrinth of endless steps.' as ordinary clues lead to extraordinary coincidences in the universe and the simple act of trailing a man ends in a startling investigation of what it means to be human. Written with an hallucinatory clarity, this first volume of THE NEW YORK TRILOGY combines a dark Kafka-like humor with the suspense of a Hitchcock film. CITY OF GLASS represents the most ambitious work to date by a uniquely gifted American writer. inventory #47670.
