City of Glass

Sad to say because the parts about language drew me in, but time spent in annoyance. Still I want to read the rest of the trilogy. Maybe it makes up for the annoyance somehow.

'It was a wrong number that started it . . .' Chosen as one of the '100 Most Important Comics of the Century', Faber is proud to publish the graphic novel City of Glass for the first time in the UK. As Art Spiegelman explains in his new introduction, David Mazzucchelli and Paul Karasik 'created a strange doppelganger of the original book' and 'a breakthrough work.' Paul Auster's Edgar Award-nominated masterwork has been astonishingly transformed into a new visual language.

I was a young teenager when I first read the New York Trilogy and it blew my mind. Since then it has come to symbolize a certain period in my life. For this reason I have been cautious of this comic book version of City of Glass. When a friend send me a copy I decided to give it a shot. Boy am I sorry that I waited so long. This is absolutely brilliant. The book manages to keep the essence of the story while adding abstract imagery that compliments and heightens the written word. This is a perfect example of a graphic narrative adaptation of a novel. Highly recommended.
