Synopsis "La Trilogia de Nueva York (in Spanish)"

'Todo empezó por un número equivocado, el teléfono sonó tres veces en la mitad de la noche y la voz al otro lado preguntó por alguien que no era él'.As comienza La ciudad de cristal, primera de las tres novelas que conforman La triloga de Nueva York. A Daniel Quinn, escritor de literatura policaca, su interlocutor telefónico lo toma por un detective y le encarga un caso.Quinn, lejos de deshacer el malentendido, se mete en el papel que le han adjudicado y se ve envuelto en una historia repleta de enigmas, complicadas relaciones paternofiliales, locura y delirio. En Fantasmas, segunda de las piezas, un detective privado y el hombre al que tiene que vigilar juegan al escondite en un claustrofóbico universo urbano.Por último, en La habitación cerrada el protagonista se ve confrontado a los recuerdos de un amigo de la infancia cuando la mujer de éste le escribe una carta explicándole que su marido ha desaparecido misteriosamente. La triloga de Nueva York, sin duda una de las obras literarias más memorables de los años ochenta, es uno de los cimientos sobre los que se sustenta el prestigio internacional de Paul Auster. El escritor maneja, manipula y reinventa el género policaco, del que hace una relectura posmoderna con tintes metafsicos. La trama detectivesca sirve como marco para plantear al lector un fascinante juego de espejos, smbolos, guiños y sorpresas; para explorar un mundo extraño, sombro y perturbador, poblado de personajes fascinantes y ambiguos.El autor entreteje tres historias independientes que forjan mitos contemporáneos.
