   Protagonista románu Quinn bol kedysi mladý ambiciózny spisovateľ, ale po smrti manželky a malého syna sa rozhodol písať tajne, pod pseudonymom William Wilson, nenáročné detektívky len pre peniaze na živobytie. Smútok a postupné strácanie seba samého ústia u Quinna do myšlienky, že už ani nie je reálnym človekom. Náhodný nočný telefonát ho vtiahne do bizarného vyšetrovania: ako súkromné očko pozoruje šialeného vedca, ktorý na svoje pokusy použil svojho syna a ktorý sa po prepustení z liečenia objaví v meste. Hoci v románe nájdeme prvky tradičnej detektívky, Auster ich využíva nanajvýš inovatívnym spôsobom a s netradičným záverom.

   Pour ce deuxième livre de sa Trilogie new-yorkaise, Paul Auster met en scène d'autres personnages que ceux de Cité de verre. Les protagonistes ici se nomment Blanc, Bleu et Noir. Mais deux d'entre eux sont à nouveau des détectives privés et leurs tribulations à New York mettent une fois encore en évidence la précarité de l'identité en même temps que les très pervers effets de miroir du destin. De telle sorte que l'impitoyable filature, à laquelle on demeure suspendu comme dans les meilleurs thrillers, nous ramène aux interrogations du premier livre. Avec, cette fois, une intensité croissante dans le tragique. On comprend après cela que l'ascension de Paul Auster, parmi les écrivains de sa génération, ait été aussi irrésistible que la métaphysique angoisse où il nous plonge.

• The New York Trilogy: City of Glass/Ghosts/The Locked Room

  • Paul Auster

  The remarkable, acclaimed series of interconnected detective novels City of Glass, Ghosts, and The Locked Room, from New York Times bestselling author Paul Auster “Exhilarating . . . a brilliant investigation of the storyteller’s art guided by a writer-detective who’s never satisfied with just the facts.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer City of Glass: As a result of a strange phone call in the middle of the night, Quinn, a writer of detective stories, becomes enmeshed in a case more puzzling than any he might have written. Ghosts: Blue, a student of Brown, has been hired by White to spy on Black. From a window of a rented room on Orange Street, Blue keeps watch on his subject, who is across the street, staring out of his own window. The Locked Room: Fanshawe has disappeared, leaving behind his wife and baby and a cache of extraordinary novels, plays, and poems. What happened to him and why is the narrator, Fanshawe’s boyhood friend, lured obsessively into his life? Moving at the breathless pace of a thriller, this is a uniquely stylized trilogy of detective novels that The Washington Post Book World has classified as “post-existential private eye. . . . It’s as if Kafka has gotten hooked on the gumshoe game and penned his own ever-spiraling version.”

  The contemporary classic from 'our supreme post-modernist' (Ian McEwan) - expanding the possibilities of the noir detective novel - whose writing 'shines with intelligence and originality' (Don DeLillo) 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
