Praise for The New York Trilogy:

One of the 25 most significant New York City novels of the last 100 Years (T Magazine/The New York Times)


“The plots twist, the dialogue snaps and the humor stings. Auster’s obsessions with identity, language, ambiguity and defeat are revealed on the long, tailing walks through the metropolis that give his labyrinthine novels their switchback shape, and New York looms throughout like a modern-day Babel.”
The New York Times Magazine

“Eminently readable and mysterious. . .Auster has added some new dimensions to modern literature, and – more importantly even – to our perspectives on our planet.”
– Fanny Howe, The Boston Globe

“Exhilarating. . .a brilliant investigation of the storyteller’s art guided by a writer who’s never satisfied with just the facts.”
The Philadelphia Inquirer

“It’s as if Kafka had gotten hooked on the gumshoe game and penned his own ever-spiraling version.” The Washington Post

“Auster harnesses the inquiring spirit any reader brings to a mystery, redirecting it from the grubby search for a wrongdoer to the more rarified search for self.”
The New York Times Book Review

“In his continuous playing with the expectations of the reader, and in its style and content alike, The New York Trilogy belongs to the masterworks of postmodernity. " -- Der Spiegel (Germany)

Praise for Paul Auster:

“A key figure in American literature [and] one of the most brilliant of his generation. . . . Like no other, he knew how to retrace the lives of his characters, or his own, in all their breadth, contradictions, twists and turns, sometimes linked to apparent coincidences.” -- Le Monde (France)

“One of the great American prose stylists of our time.”New York Times

“Auster really does possess the wand of the enchanter.”New York Review of Books

“One of the great writers of our time.”San Francisco Chronicle

“Contemporary American writing at its best.”New York Times Book Review, on Invisible

“A literary original who is perfecting a hybrid genre of his own.”Wall Street Journal

"Shines with intelligence and originality" -- Don DeLillo

"As a writer, Paul was blessed with the gift of flow. His paragraphs were a moving sidewalk — it was more comfortable to ride than to hop off — so you could read him for hours, as his plots twisted and turned." -- Lucy Sante

“Auster does what an artist is supposed to—tell the story of a time through the story of people.” -- Indian Express (India)

"Our supreme post-modernist" -- Ian McEwan

"One of America's most spectacularly inventive writers." -- The Times Literary Supplement (London)
