The New York Trilogy: City of Glass, Ghosts and Locked Room
2 journalers for this copy...
I've read 2 or 3 of Auster's novels and always enjoyed them. So, when I saw a sale copy of The New York Trilogy I grabbed it. I'm looking forward to reading this one.

This is one of those books that has many images and ideas that stay with you. Actually, it is a set of 3 different books, City of Glass, Ghosts, and The Locked Room, but they are interconnected. I have no way to describe these "detective" stories other than to say they will make you think.

"The question is the story itself, and whether or not it means something is not for the story to tell..."
That was what got my attention. I suppose I'll find out if there's any meaning for me soon enough.
