Description
Considered by many to be the first “post-modern” detective novel, City of Glass is a meta-novel that explores layers of identity and madness as an investigation proceeds. Subsequent titles in the three-book series are Ghosts and The Locked Room. According to critic Michael Dirda in the Washington Post (December 21, 2003), “Ever since City of Glass, . . . Auster has perfected a limpid, confessional style, then used it to set disoriented heroes in a seemingly familiar world gradually suffused with mounting uneasiness, vague menace and possible hallucination.” The dust jacket design is by Katie Messborn.
