Cité de verre

Based on Paul Auster's novel, this 1995 graphic novel from Actes Sud adapts the labyrinthine story of a writer drawn into a mysterious case of surveillance and identity. David Mazzucchelli and Paul Karasik collaborated on both the writing and the stark, expressive artwork, translating the novel's philosophical obsessions into a visual language of shifting perspectives and urban isolation. A single, self-contained issue, it stands as a celebrated example of literary comics adaptation.
