From the supplier: Paul Auster subverts techniques of realistic fiction in 'City of Glass' even while apparently adhering to the realist tradition. The detective story framework, with Daniel Quinn constantly searching for the truth, becomes Auster's way of capturing the problematics of representation. The novel challenges conventional notions of identity and Auster's use of language creates layers of meaning. His fiction voices the modernist problem of cultural decay and addresses the postmodernist problem with mimetic representation.
