The Book Club book

The New York Trilogy is an astonishing work.  It composes three interconnected short novels written in a standard detective fiction style, which collectively manages to be both a gripping read and full of interesting philosophical ideas.  It is like reading a cross between Raymond Chandler and Franz Kafka.  Our private investigator investigates a case, following clues which lead to some profound conclusions. The New York Trilogy is the modern novel at its finest: bold, astounding, unforgettable.

'Marks a new departure for the American novel.' Observer

'A shatteringly clever piece of work . . . Utterly gripping, written with an acid sharpness that leaves an indelible dent in the back of the mind.' Sunday Telegraph

'The New York Trilogy established him as the only author one could compare to Samuel Beckett.' Guardian
