A graphic novel classic with a new introduction by Art Spiegelman
Quinn writes mysteries." The Washington Post" has described him as a "post-existentialist private eye." An unknown voice on the telephone is now begging for his help, drawing him into a world and a mystery far stranger than any he ever created in print.
Adapted by Paul Karasik and David Mazzucchelli, with graphics by David Mazzucchelli, Paul Auster's groundbreaking, Edgar Award-nominated masterwork has been astonishingly transformed into a new visual language.
Paul Auster's recent novels, "Oracle Night" and "The Book of Illusions," were national bestsellers, as was "I Thought My Father Was God," the NPR National Story Project anthology, which he edited. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
Paul Karasik is the coauthor with his sister, Judy, of "The Ride Together: A Brother and Sister's Memoir of Autism in the Family." He was an associate editor at "Raw Magazine."
David Mazzucchelli has written and drawn comics that have been published in collections and anthologies around the world.
Chosen as one of the "100 Most Important Comics of the Century," Picador is proud to republish the graphic novel "City of Glass." As Art Spiegelman explains in his new introduction, David Mazucchelli and Paul Karasik "created a strange doppelganger of the original book" and "a breakthrough work." Paul Auster's Edgar Award-nominated masterwork has been astonishing transformed into a new visual language.
Originally published to launch a series of comic adaptations of noir-inflected literature in 1994, this outstanding and unique reinvention of the first volume of Auster's internationally acclaimed "The New York Trilogy" is finally back in print.
