A graphic novel classic with a new introduction by Art Spiegelman Quinn writes mysteries. The Washington Post has described him as a "post-existentialist private eye." An unknown voice on the telephone is now begging for his help, drawing him into a world and a mystery far stranger than any he ever created in print. Adapted by Paul Karasik and David Mazzucchelli, with graphics by David Mazzucchelli, Paul Auster's groundbreaking, Edgar Award-nominated masterwork has been astonishingly transformed into a new visual language. "[This graphic novel] is, surprisingly, not just a worthy supplement to the novel, but a work of art that fully justifies its existence on its own terms."--The Guardian

An interesting adaptation of the first part of Auster's New York Trilogy. I enjoyed this a lot, and the adapters found some interesting ways to express the internal thoughts of the novel. Full review here: https://annabookbel.net/paul-auster-reading-week-city-of-glass-the-graphic-novel
