The new York Trilogy
Paul Auster
Synopsis "The new York Trilogy"
The remarkable, acclaimed series of interconnected detective novels - from the author of 4 3 2 1: A Novel The New York Review of Books has called Paul Auster's work "one of the most distinctive niches in contemporary literature." Moving at the breathless pace of a thriller, this uniquely stylized triology of detective novels begins with City of Glass, in which Quinn, a mystery writer, receives an ominous phone call in the middle of the night. He's drawn into the streets of New York, onto an elusive case that's more puzzling and more deeply-layered than anything he might have written himself. In Ghosts, Blue, a mentee of Brown, is hired by White to spy on Black from a window on Orange Street. Once Blue starts stalking Black, he finds his subject on a similar mission, as well. In The Locked Room, Fanshawe has disappeared, leaving behind his wife and baby and nothing but a cache of novels, plays, and poems. This Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition includes an introduction from author and professor Luc Sante, as well as a pulp novel-inspired cover from Art Spiegelman, Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic artist of Maus and In the Shadow of No Towers. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
Nació en 1948 en Estocolmo, Suecia. Tres años más tarde, él y sus padres, supervivientes de un campo de concentración nazi, se trasladan a Nueva York. En los 60 empieza a trabajar como ilustrador para la Topps Chewing Gum Co. en la serie GARBAGE PAILS KID y realiza historias underground de carácter autobiográfico, entre las que destaca PRISIONERO DEL PLANETA INFIERNO, donde ilustra las reacciones familiares ante el suicidio de su madre. En 1978 crea la revista RAW, una publicación que sirve de refugio para todos aquellos autores norteamericanos y europeos cuyo trabajo no tiene cabida en el mercado popular. Fue en RAW donde dio a conocer su obra más conocida: MAUS. Es profesor en la School of Visual Arts de Nueva York ha ilustrado publicaciones en NEW YORK TIMES, PLAYBOY, VILLAGE VOICE y el semanario THE NEW YORKER.
