'City Of Glass', the first part of Paul Auster's seminal work, The New York Trilogy, is perhaps the quintessential Auster story - an exploration of identity and language, whose narrative is kick-started by a random act of chance:
'It was a wrong number that started it, the telephone ringing three times in the dead of night, and the voice on the other end asking for someone he was not '
In the expert hands of David Mazzuchelli (Batman), Paul Karasik (Raw) and Art Spiegelman (Maus), Auster's dark and brilliant spin on the detective story has been given a unique and unexpected new life.
