City of Glass

'It was a wrong number that started it . . .' Chosen as one of the '100 Most Important Comics of the Century', Faber is proud to publish the graphic novel City of Glass for the first time in the UK. As Art Spiegelman explains in his new introduction, David Mazzucchelli and Paul Karasik 'created a strange doppelganger of the original book' and 'a breakthrough work.' Paul Auster's Edgar Award-nominated masterwork has been astonishingly transformed into a new visual language.

Paul Auster, einer der prominentesten Gegenwartsautoren Amerikas, schaffte seinen literarischen Durchbruch mit "City of Glass" (1985), dem ersten Roman seiner "New York Trilogy". Eine brillant erzählte (Kriminal-)Geschichte um einen dramatischen Vater-Sohn-Konflikt, in der sich Realität und Fiktion ständig vermischen und in der es nur eine Konstante gibt - den Zufall. Auster at his best. Ungekürzte und unbearbeitete Textausgabe in der Originalsprache, mit Übersetzungen schwieriger Wörter am Fuß jeder Seite, Nachwort und Literaturhinweisen.
