In 1985, Paul Auster's City of Glass was adapted into a graphic novel and became an immediate cult classic, published in over 30 editions worldwide, excerpted in The Norton Anthology of Postmodern Fiction. But City of Glass was only the first novel in a series of books, Auster's acclaimed New York Trilogy, and graphic novel readers have been waiting for years for the other two tales to be translated into comics. Now the wait is over. The New York Trilogy is post-modern literature disguised as Noir fiction where language is the prime suspect. An interpretation of detective and mystery fiction, each book explores various philosophical themes. In City of Glass, an author of detective fiction investigates a murder and descends into madness. Ghosts features a private eye named Blue, trailing a man named Black, for a client called White. This too ends with the protagonist's downfall. And in The Locked Room, another author is experiencing writer's block, and hopes to brake it by solving the disappearance of his childhood friend. The second two parts of this trilogy will be appearing in this volume for the very first time as a graphic novel. Paul Karasik, the mastermind behind the three adaptations, art directed all three books. City of Glass is illustrated by the award-winning cartoonist David Mazzucchelli, the second volume, Ghosts, is illustrated by New Yorker cover artist, Lorenzo Mattotti, and The Locked Room is adapted and drawn by Karasik himself. These adaptations take Auster's sophisticated wordplay and translate it into comics play: both highbrow and lowbrow and immensely fun reading"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6760688</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6760688</guid><category><![CDATA[GRAPHIC_NOVEL]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Karasik, Paul]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6760688109</comments><format>GRAPHIC_NOVEL</format><subtitle>City of Glass, Ghosts, The Locked Room</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780553387643/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[How to Read Nancy]]></title><description><![CDATA["Everything that you need to know about reading, making, and understanding comics can be found in a single Nancy strip by Ernie Bushmiller from August 8, 1959. Paul Karasik and Mark Newgarden's groundbreaking work How to Read Nancy ingeniously isolates the separate building blocks of the language of comics through the deconstruction of a single strip. No other book on comics has taken such a simple yet methodical approach to laying bare how the comics medium really works. No other book of any kind has taken a single work by any artist and minutely (and entertainingly) pulled it apart like this. How to Read Nancy is a completely new approach towards deep-reading art. In addition, How to Read Nancy is a thoroughly researched history of how comics are made, from their creation at the drawing board to their ultimate destination at the bookstore. Textbook, art book, monogram, dissection, How to Read Nancy is a game changer in understanding how the "simplest" drawings grab us and never leave."-- Amazon.com.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5512841</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5512841</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Karasik, Paul]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5512841109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Elements of Comics in Three Easy Panels</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781606993613/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Masters of American Comics]]></title><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C1138036</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C1138036</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2005 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1138036109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780300113174/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Ride Together]]></title><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C913377</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C913377</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Karasik, Judy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2003 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/913377109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Brother and Sister&apos;s Memoir of Autism in the Family</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780743423366/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The White Snake]]></title><description><![CDATA[A graphic novel adaptation of the tale of Randall, a young servant who eats a forbidden food, gains the ability to understand animals' speech, and attains great rewards.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5861017</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5861017</guid><category><![CDATA[GRAPHIC_NOVEL]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nadler, Ben]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5861017109</comments><format>GRAPHIC_NOVEL</format><subtitle>Based on A Fairy Tale by the Grimm Brothers</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781943145379/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Syncopated]]></title><description><![CDATA["Syncopated will give you a daringly different view of the past--from the history of vintage postcards to the glory days of old Coney Island.
