Maggiori informazioni sul libro

In «The New York Trilogy», Paul Auster presents the readers a maze of crimes, detectives and culprits that reaches far beyond the bounds of the traditional detective novel. This book analyzes how Auster causes the detective novel's standard formula to collapse and discusses the strategies employed to do so. The analysis focuses on the aspects of identity, language, the relationship between author, reader, culprit and detective as well as the relationship between facts and fiction. To elucidate the structure of «The New York Trilogy», a geometrical model of the novels' structure is developed.
