Kenji Lloyd is the winner of Find-Book's review competition for August
07 September 2011
Kenji Lloyd is the winner of our August competition with his exceptional review of The New York Trilogy: "City of Glass", "Ghosts" and "Locked Room" by Paul Auster.
Paul Auster is an American author, a prolific writer of fiction and biography. More popular in Europe than in his own country, he is regarded by many as one of the greatest American authors. His work is considered to be highly original, often complex and completely absorbing.
This is a short excerpt from Kenji's review.
It is hard to describe precisely how the three novels connect to each other without spoiling the surprises that are utterly delightful to discover whilst reading, and so I shall leave the precise details of the relationships between all three novels for you to discover on your own. The New York Trilogy is a fascinating and intriguing work of three novels that are sure to be unlike any other trilogy that you've ever read. Auster is clearly in a league of his own on this literary front, able to produce something that is beyond astounding. How he manages to devise these three separate but inter-linking worlds, each with their separate and over-arching plots, is almost incomprehensible, and certainly it is one of the finest pieces of fiction I have come across to date.
The New York Trilogy is perhaps not the lightest of works to read, but as we are now coming out of the summer season, light beach-reading is no longer what many of us are looking to read, and thus The New York Trilogy is perfect to pick up as we head into autumn. It is truly a stroke of genius on Auster's part that bears no worthy comparison in the literary world. It will be like nothing you have ever read, pulling you into a world you won't soon want to leave, and what more can we ask of a book?
