Clean, sound, without markings. City of Glass was Auster's 2nd novel and the first published under is own name. (Prior to this one, Squeeze Play (1984) (Written under pseudonym Paul Benjamin, 1984). City of Glass was the first volume of his The New York Trilogy, to be followed by Ghosts (1986) and Locked Room (1986). These three novels work well as stand alone stories. There is no reason to feel obligated to read them in order. Honestly there is no reason to read them all, other than the fact they are excellent, arguably the best books of Austers long, still active at age 75. In 2021 he published Burning Boy: The Life and Work of Stephen Crane, a non-fiction work that might be my favorite book of that year. [203 pages]
