Paul Auster is a celebrated American author and screenwriter whose metafictional novels blend noir, philosophy, and postmodern introspection. While not primarily a comics creator, his collaboration with artist Paul Karasik on “City of Glass: The Graphic Novel” translated his literary themes into the visual realm. Auster’s prose interrogates coincidence, identity, and the blurred boundaries between writer and narrative, making him an influential figure for graphic storytelling that seeks literary depth. His presence in visual culture signals a convergence between high literary form and experimental comic adaptation.

In City of Glass, Paul Auster deconstructs the detective genre, weaving a metafictional mystery where identity and reality blur. The novel follows Daniel Quinn, a reclusive writer who is drawn into a case after a mistaken phone call. As he assumes the role of a private investigator, Quinn descends into a surreal labyrinth of obsession and existential uncertainty. Published by Faber & Faber, this postmodern noir explores language, authorship, and fate, making it a cornerstone of Auster’s acclaimed New York Trilogy—a must-read for literary and mystery enthusiasts alike.
