Auster P. N'ju-Jorkskaja trilogija
| Author | Auster P. |
| Title | N'ju-Jorkskaja trilogija |
| Description | Paul Auster’s The New York Trilogy joins the premise of detective fiction with philosophical prose about a person who gradually loses confidence in his own role. The trilogy consists of three independent novellas. In City of Glass, a writer receives an accidental phone call and begins to impersonate a private detective. A simple assignment turns into a dangerous game with another man’s name. In Ghosts, a detective is hired to watch a man, and at first the work seems almost mechanical, though the act of watching slowly changes the detective himself and deprives him of his usual sense of stability. In The Locked Room, the narrator sorts through the manuscripts of a vanished friend and occupies an ever larger place in his family’s life.
Auster uses the form of detective fiction to write about chance and loneliness. His New York resembles a labyrinth in which a person searches for meaning and increasingly meets emptiness instead. Paul Auster was an American writer and filmmaker, known for joining existential philosophy with postmodern detective fiction and turning the chance events of everyday life into a subject of deep artistic reflection. |
