Paul Auster, 1984

Date read: 6/3/2026

This book consists of three stories: City of Glass, Ghosts, and The Locked Room. All three are separate stories connected thematically, with some names/characters repeated.

The themes seemed to be that you can't really know other people, despite watching them closely, and detectives/investigations. The stories are very good and I appreciate how the author used himself as a character in one of them. However, they didn’t totally make sense, and the people in them are strange with weird decision making. I didn’t dislike it, but I didn't like it either.
