  <default_description>Quinn writes mysteries. &lt;i&gt;The Washington Post&lt;/i&gt; 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.</default_description>

A tightly-wound postmodern detective story, its subject is language itself.<br/><br/>In short, a wrong number leads to writer Daniel Quinn taking on a case as a private eye.

    <body><![CDATA[Having never read Paul Auster's City of Glass in bare text, it is hard to imagine it related more compellingly than it is here in his collaboration with artist Paul Karasik. The noir-ish narrative is built on acts of happenstance; intersections of personal losses, accidents and a search for answers ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/12639255">more...</a>]]></body>
