![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Paul Karasik, a comics theorist, artist and writer, deconstructs Auster’s work in the same spirit that Auster applies to his own story. ![]() It manages to be completely faithful to the ideas expressed in the prose by finding visual counterparts for them rather than simply putting pictures to the existing words. Quinn encounters Paul Auster himself as a character in the story, and Auster tells it as if he was reading Quinn’s red book, a diary which contains references to many other books as well as the details of his unravelling mind.Ĭity of Glass: The Graphic Novel is Paul Karasik and David Mazzuchelli’s brilliant adaptation of Auster’s story. In City of Glass, a novelist called Daniel Quinn answers a wrong number, and is drawn into trying to solve a mystery which fragments his personality and his sanity. But there’s a weirder intellectual puzzle powering the bleakness of these stories, questions of how language works, the inadequacy of fiction to describe the indescribable, the nature of reality itself. This description fits any typical hard-boiled crime fiction, of course: the case that has no resolution, luring the protagonists into a trap with no way out except death. Each one appears to be a detective mystery, but they go beyond these beginnings to spiral into existentialist nightmares.
