From the back cover:
In three brilliant variations on the classic detective story, Paul Auster makes the well-traversed terrain of New York City his own, as it becomes a strange, compelling landscape in which identities merge or fade and questions serve only to further obscure the truth. What emerges is an investigation into the art of storytelling, notions of identity and the very essence of language.
May 2013: I didn't like this one so much. Near the end the three stories start to blend, they are too much the same. Maybe if I would have read them separately I might have enjoyed them more.
