About this Collection

This graphic novel adapts Paul Auster's postmodern novel 'City of Glass' into a visually striking comic format. The story follows Daniel Quinn, a mystery writer who becomes entangled in a bizarre case of surveillance and identity, blurring the lines between reality and fiction. Created by writer Paul Karasik and artist David Mazzucchelli, this edition is a landmark in literary comics adaptation.

A visually striking collaboration from Paul Auster, Paul Karasik, and David Mazzucchelli, Cité de verre #nn (1995) presents a layered, atmospheric tale featuring characters whose lives intersect in a cityscape rendered with meticulous detail. The story unfolds through the distinct artistic and narrative voices of its creators, with Mazzucchelli’s expressive linework and Karasik’s distinctive style shaping its mood and pacing. The cover, also by Mazzucchelli, captures the work’s brooding, reflective tone.
