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 finest: a
truly bold and arresting work of fiction with something to transfix
and astound every reader. 'Marks a new departure for the American
novel.' Observer 'A shatteringly clever piece of work . . . Utterly
gripping, written with an acid sharpness that leaves an indelible
dent in the back of the mind.' Sunday Telegraph 'The New York
Trilogy established him as the only author one could compare to
Samuel Beckett.' Guardian
