New York Trilogy - City of Glass - Book Review | Recommended Book 2020
Here's my short review of the story City of Glass, a postmodern detective narrative, written by the fantastic Paul Auster in the book, New York Trilogy. It involves themes to do with the mystifying power of language and the duality between characters and concepts in a world where story telling and belief is inextricably connected.

Paul Auster & Luc Sante | The New York Trilogy Manuscript Edition
The inimitable Paul Auster launches the limited edition manuscript of his New York Trilogy with fellow author Luc Sante at the Strand’s Rare Book Room. Paul will undoubtedly share never before seen or heard thoughts of The New York Trilogy's journey from infancy to publication.
Some words about the limited edition manuscript:
Specialized in the reproduction of major manuscripts, SP Books are happy to present three drafts from Paul Auster’s New York Trilogy. In 2014 the publisher went to the New York Public Library to explore the papers of one of our greatest contemporary writers, Paul Auster. This colossal archive bears witness to the evolution of a novel, the generation of a publication through all its intermediary stages, from beginning to end.
After summarily sketching out the plot, ...

Plot summary, “The New York Trilogy” by Paul Auster in 5 Minutes - Book Review
"The New York Trilogy" is a collection of three interconnected detective novellas written by American author Paul Auster. The novellas in this collection are "City of Glass," "Ghosts," and "The Locked Room." Each novella is a work of postmodern detective fiction that explores themes of identity, language, and the blurred boundaries between reality and fiction.
"City of Glass" - The first novella in the trilogy introduces the character of Daniel Quinn, a writer who, in a case of mistaken identity, becomes a private detective. He is hired to follow a man named Stillman and gradually becomes obsessed with the case. As the story unfolds, it blurs the lines between the detective's own identity and the identity of the person he's investigating.
"Ghosts" - In the second novella, the author, who...

Paul Auster Interview: How I Became a Writer
A rare visit at Paul Auster's brownstone home in Brooklyn. Auster shares the story of how he became a writer and how he works: “A good day's work is if I have one typed page at the end of the day, two is amazing, three is a miracle.”
New York novelist, Paul Auster, tells the story about how striking out on an autograph from the legendary baseball player Willie Mays led him to become a writer.
“After that incident at the age of 7, I always remember to keep a pen in my pocket, because you never know when you might need one.”
Auster is widely known for his use of blurring out the lines between realism and fiction in his writing, drawing on his own experiences: “The job of a writer is to keep his eyes open. In this video he reflects on what it means to be a writer and why a good day's work ...

The inimitable Paul Auster launches the limited edition manuscript of his New York Trilogy with fellow author Luc Sante at the Strand’s Rare Book Room. Paul will undoubtedly share never before seen or heard thoughts of The New York Trilogy's journey from infancy to publication.
Some words about the limited edition manuscript:
Specialized in the reproduction of major manuscripts, SP Books are happy to present three drafts from Paul Auster’s New York Trilogy. In 2014 the publisher went to the New York Public Library to explore the papers of one of our greatest contemporary writers, Paul Auster. This colossal archive bears witness to the evolution of a novel, the generation of a publication through all its intermediary stages, from beginning to end.
After summarily sketching out the plot, he writes his first versions in notebooks which represent weeks, months, or years of his life. There are usually around ten handwritten and as many as three typewritten drafts of a single text, the latter containing numerous corrections in pen. The document he hands his publisher is the final version of a text that has gone through many incarnations.
A veritable time capsule, the book contains hand- and typewritten manuscripts of The New York Trilogy, carefully selected in cooperation with Paul Auster to shed light on this major work’s architecture. The first, a handwritten sketch of City of Glass, entitled New York Confidential, is followed by a nearly definitive typewritten version of Ghosts, initially called Black Outs, and a quite advanced manuscript of The Locked Room, whose first title was Ghosts. Like Mr. Auster’s enigmatic New York, this is “an inexhaustible space, a labyrinth of endless steps”.
Paul Auster is the bestselling author of “Winter Journal,” “Sunset Park,” “Invisible,” “The Book of Illusions,” and The New York Trilogy, among many other works. He has been awarded the Prince of Asturias Award for Literature, the Prix Médicis étranger, an Independent Spirit Award, and the Premio Napoli. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and is a Commandeur de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
Luc Sante's books include “Low Life,” “Evidence,” “The Factory of Facts,” “Kill All Your Darlings,” and “The Other Paris.” He teaches at Bard.

The novelist believes that it’s “the burning need to do it,” not to be praised, that spurs great writing.

Paul Benjamin:
Paul Benjamin Auster is an author and poet who has gained acclaim over a diverse 30-year career, in which he has published many volumes of poetry and essays as well as 20 novels, now widely translated. His work also extends to the translation of the work of foreign writers, including French writers Stéphane Mallarmé and Joseph Joubert. He is arguably best known for his three experimental detective stories, collectively referred to as The New York Trilogy ("City of Glass," 1985; "Ghosts," 1986; "The Locked Room," 1986). His latest novel, "Invisible," was released by Henry Holt and Co. in October 2009. His first marriage was to the writer Lydia Davis in 1974; his second to the novelist and essayist Siri Hustvedt in 1981. He has two children, Daniel and Sophie, and lives in Brooklyn, New York.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSCRIPT:
Question: How can someone read like a good writer?
Paul Auster: Well, again, we get into very murky territory here because it's all a matter of taste. I mean, I have the writers that I care about most, the writers that I think are the greatest of the past and of the present. But my list would be very different, perhaps, from yours. But I guess the important thing for young writers is to read, read the good ones. And I suppose by that, I mean, the ones who've withstood the test of time. You know, the great ones. Hawthorne, Melville, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Kafka, Dickens, that's where you're going to get the most, I think. And when you see how, you know, brilliantly they do things, Flaubert, you know, all the names that we know. But they're there for a reason, because they really are the best writers. And I think you have to learn from the great ones.
Question: What's the most common trap beginning writers fall into?
Paul Auster: Common trap, I suppose a kind of an egotism, self-importance, inability to look out of themselves, and I think it's important to look very closely at the world, everything happening around you, and sometimes for young people it's difficult to do that.
And the other thing is to, to get too attached to some of the things that you think are clever that you're doing. I think cleverness has its spots, its place in the world, perhaps, but the burning need to do it is what makes for good work. The wish to do it doesn't really help you. It's when it's absolutely necessary.
So when I talk to young writers, I mostly tell them, don't do it. Don't be a writer, it's a terrible way to live your life, there's nothing to be gained from it but poverty and obscurity and solitude. So if you have a taste for all those things, which means that you really are burning to do it, then go ahead and do it. But don't expect anything from anybody. The world doesn't owe you anything and no one is asking you to do it. And I suppose it's this feeling of accomplishment that young people feel sometimes is that, "Well, of course my book should be published! Of course I should be able to earn a living out of this." Well, it just doesn't work that way.

"The New York Trilogy" is a collection of three interconnected detective novellas written by American author Paul Auster. The novellas in this collection are "City of Glass," "Ghosts," and "The Locked Room." Each novella is a work of postmodern detective fiction that explores themes of identity, language, and the blurred boundaries between reality and fiction.
"City of Glass" - The first novella in the trilogy introduces the character of Daniel Quinn, a writer who, in a case of mistaken identity, becomes a private detective. He is hired to follow a man named Stillman and gradually becomes obsessed with the case. As the story unfolds, it blurs the lines between the detective's own identity and the identity of the person he's investigating.
"Ghosts" - In the second novella, the author, who is now a character in his own story, receives a call from a man named White seeking the detective Paul Auster's help in tracking down a mysterious figure named Fanshawe. This novella delves into the idea of authorship and the ways in which authors create and manipulate their characters.
"The Locked Room" - The final novella tells the story of a writer named Blue who is asked to complete a project left behind by his childhood friend, Fanshawe. This novella explores themes of obsession, loss, and the intricate relationship between the two friends.
Throughout "The New York Trilogy," Auster plays with the conventions of detective fiction, weaving complex and often existential narratives that challenge the reader's perceptions of reality, identity, and the role of the author in shaping the lives of characters. The trilogy is known for its intricate and thought-provoking storytelling and has been celebrated for its innovative approach to the detective genre.

A rare visit at Paul Auster's brownstone home in Brooklyn. Auster shares the story of how he became a writer and how he works: “A good day's work is if I have one typed page at the end of the day, two is amazing, three is a miracle.”
New York novelist, Paul Auster, tells the story about how striking out on an autograph from the legendary baseball player Willie Mays led him to become a writer.
“After that incident at the age of 7, I always remember to keep a pen in my pocket, because you never know when you might need one.”
Auster is widely known for his use of blurring out the lines between realism and fiction in his writing, drawing on his own experiences: “The job of a writer is to keep his eyes open. In this video he reflects on what it means to be a writer and why a good day's work sometimes consist of crumbling up the written papers and throwing them into the trash."
When Auster was young he wanted to write something beautiful, but as he got older he discovered that this wasn't what it was all about: “The essence of being an artist is to confront the things you are trying to do, to tackle it head on, and if it is good, it will have its own beauty - an unpredictable beauty.”
Paul Auster (born 1947) is a highly acclaimed American novelist. He has published numerous novels such as the famous ‘The New York Trilogy’ (1987), ‘Moon Palace’ (1989), ‘Sunset Park’ (2010) and the autobiographical books ‘Winter Journal’ (2012) and ‘Report From the Interior’ (2013). He lives in Brooklyn, New York with his wife, novelist Siri Hustvedt.
Paul Auster was interviewed by Kasper Bech Dyg in Brooklyn, New York, December 2014.
