But why turn a book into another book? Why make a novel from a novel? You can understand why someone might want to make City of Glass into a movie, or a play, or even, perhaps, a series of paintings. Quinn pursues Stillman, meets a writer named Paul Auster, loses himself on the streets of New York and disappears into madness. Daniel Quinn, once a promising poet, now writes crime novels under a pseudonym he receives a phone call intended for a detective named Paul Auster, and accepts an assignment to shadow Paul Stillman, a bookish lunatic.
Confining himself to fewer than 150 pages, Auster wrote a fascinating meditation on identity and fiction, structured within a very literary detective story.
By Paul Auster, Paul Karasik and David MazzucchelliĪ comic of City of Glass? But why? The idea sounds bizarre, even repellent: could there be any possible justification for turning a great novel into a graphic novel? Originally published in 1985, City of Glass was the first part of Paul Auster's New York Trilogy, and instantly made him famous.
