_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_
