Paul Auster, Jahrgang 1947, einer der prominentesten Gegenwartsautoren Amerikas, schaffte seinen literarischen Durchbruch 1985 mit »City of Glass«, dem ersten Roman der »New York Trilogy«, einer brillant erzählten (Kriminal-)Geschichte, in der sich Realität und Fiktion ständig vermischen und in der es nur eine Konstante gibt den Zufall. »A shatteringly clever piece of work Utterly gripping, written with an acid sharpness that leaves an indelible dent in the back of the mind.« Sunday Telegraph Englische Lektüre: Niveau C1 (GER).

Der Roman Stadt aus Glas (Originaltitel: City of Glass) aus dem Jahr 1985 ist der erste Teil der New-York-Trilogie des US-amerikanischen Schriftstellers Paul Auster. Die beiden anderen Teile sind Schlagschatten (Ghosts, 1986) und Hinter verschlossenen Türen (The Locked Room, 1987). Vordergründig ein Kriminalroman, spielt Stadt aus Glas mit Namen, Identitäten und Bezeichnungen und stellt schließlich die tatsächliche Existenz der Beteiligten in Frage. Paul Auster erzählt die Geschichte des heruntergekommenen Krimiautors Daniel Quinn, der sich, nachdem er Frau und Kind verloren hat, in seine New Yorker Wohnung zurückgezogen hat und davon lebt, dass er jährlich unter dem Pseudonym William Wilson einen Kriminalroman publiziert, in dem er seinen Privatdetektiv Max Work eine ?komplizierte Reihe von Verbrechen? aufklären lässt: ?In der Dreiheit der Personen, die Quinn geworden war, diente Wilson als eine Art Bauchredner, Quinn selbst war die Puppe, und Work war die belebte Stimme, die dem Unternehmen Sinn und Zweck verlieh.? In seiner Zurückgezogenheit wird Quinn durch nächtliche Anrufe einer Person gestört, die sich nicht davon abbringen lässt, dass er in Wirklichkeit der Privatdetektiv Paul Auster sei. Diese Person, die sich Peter Stillman nennt, aber bei fast jeder Namensnennung betont, es sei nicht der richtige Name, ist eine Art moderner Kaspar Hauser, der von seinem Vater, einem Theologieprofessor, der ebenfalls Peter Stillman heißt, neun Jahre in Dunkelheit, ohne Zuwendung und Sprache eingesperrt wurde. Stillman senior hat dafür Jahre in der Psychiatrie verbracht. Kurz vor seiner Entlassung schrieb er seinem Sohn einen Brief, in dem er ihn als Teufel bezeichnete und ihm Rache androhte. Nachdem der Brief an die Polizei ging, musste der alte Stillman weitere Jahre in der Psychiatrie verbringen - doch jetzt wird er freigelassen, und sein Sohn und dessen Frau fürchten um ihr Leben. Paul Benjamin Auster (* 3. Februar 1947 in Newark, New Jersey) ist ein US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller, der auch als Filmregisseur, Drehbuchautor, Kritiker, Übersetzer und Herausgeber arbeitet. Seine Werke wurden in über vierzig Sprachen übersetzt. Weltbekannt wurde Auster durch seine Serie experimenteller Kriminalromane, die gesammelt als Die New-York-Trilogie (1987) veröffentlicht wurden. Nach dem bescheidenen Erfolg seines Prosa-Debüts Die Erfindung der Einsamkeit wurde Stadt aus Glas zunächst von siebzehn Verlagen abgelehnt, gelangte dann aber auf die Nominierungsliste für den Edgar Allan Poe Award. Jeder der drei Romane wirkt zu Beginn wie eine klassische Kriminalgeschichte. Die Beobachtungen und Nachforschungen der Protagonisten münden jedoch nicht in der Aufklärung eines Kriminalfalles oder der Erledigung eines Auftrags, sondern sie reflektieren und veranschaulichen letztendlich ihr persönliches Schicksal und führen im weiteren Verlauf der Handlung zur Selbsterkenntnis. Austers Kriminalromane sprengen den gewöhnlichen Rahmen dieses Genres. Die Form dient der Darstellung und Analyse existentieller Probleme und Fragen nach der menschlichen Identität.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The New York Trilogy is perhaps the most astonishing work by one of America's most consistently astonishing writers. The Trilogy is three cleverly interconnected novels that exploit the elements of standard detective fiction and achieve a new genre that is all the more gripping for its starkness. It is a riveting work of detective fiction worthy of Raymond Chandler, and at the same time a profound and unsettling existentialist enquiry in the tradition of Kafka or Borges. In each story the search for clues leads to remarkable coincidences in the universe as the simple act of trailing a man ultimately becomes a startling investigation of what it means to be human. The New York Trilogy is the modern novel at its finest: a truly bold and arresting work of fiction with something to transfix and astound every reader.'Marks a new departure for the American novel.' Observer'A shatteringly clever piece of work . . . Utterly gripping, written with an acid sharpness that leaves an indelible dent in the back of the mind.' Sunday Telegraph'The New York Trilogy established him as the only author one could compare to Samuel Beckett.' Guardian.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Karasik, Paul; Mattotti, Lorenzo; Mazzucchelli, David (illustrator). Neuware - From award-winning novelist Paul Auster comes the graphic adaptation of his deeply beloved series, The New York Trilogy, a postmodern take on detective and noir fiction.In 1994, Paul Auster's City of Glass was adapted into a graphic novel and became an immediate cult classic, published in over 30 editions worldwide, excerpted in The Norton Anthology of Postmodern Fiction. But City of Glass was only the first novel in a series of books, Auster's acclaimed New York Trilogy, and graphic novel readers have been waiting for years for the other two tales to be translated into comics.Now the wait is over.The New York Trilogy is post-modern literature disguised as Noir fiction where language is the prime suspect. An interpretation of detective and mystery fiction, each book explores various philosophical themes. In City of Glass, an author of detective fiction investigates a murder and descends into madness. Ghosts features a private eye named Blue, trailing a man named Black, for a client called White. This too ends with the protagonist's downfall. And in The Locked Room, another author is experiencing writer's block, and hopes to brake it by solving the disappearance of his childhood friend. The second two parts of this trilogy will be appearing in this volume for the very first time as a graphic novel.Paul Karasik, the mastermind behind the three adaptations, art directed all three books. City of Glass is illustrated by the award-winning cartoonist David Mazzucchielli, the second volume, Ghosts, is illustrated by New Yorker cover artist, Lorenzo Mattotti, and The Locked Room is adapted and drawn by Karasik himself. These adaptations take Auster's sophisticated wordplay and translate it into comicsplay: both highbrow and lowbrow and immensely fun reading.
