Starting in the 1970s, Auster completed more than 30 books, translated into dozens of languages. A longtime fixture in the Brooklyn literary scene, he was widely admired overseas for his cosmopolitan worldview and erudite and introspective style.
Auster blended history, politics, genre experiments, existential quests, and self-conscious references to writers and writing. The New York Trilogy, including City of Glass, Ghosts, and The Locked Room, was a postmodern detective saga.
