Intriguing detective fiction meets existentialist enquiry.

It's a shatteringly clever piece of work that is utterly gripping and leaves an indelible mark on the reader. If you're looking for a mind-bending read that will challenge your perceptions of reality and the human condition, The New York Trilogy may be a perfect choice for you.

Description

The New York Trilogy is perhaps the most astonishing work by one of America's most consistently astonishing writers. The Trilogy is three cleverly interconnected novels that exploit the elements of standard detective fiction and achieve a new genre that is all the more gripping for its starkness. It is a riveting work of detective fiction worthy of Raymond Chandler, and at the same time a profound and unsettling existentialist enquiry in the tradition of Kafka or Borges. In each story, the search for clues leads to remarkable coincidences in the universe as the simple act of trailing a man ultimately becomes a startling investigation of what it means to be human. The New York Trilogy is the modern novel at its core, a truly bold and arresting work of fiction with something to transfix and astound every reader.
