In 7 chapters you get to know Kinga in all her sarcastic glory . . . This was my first Helen Oyeyemi and I will look out for more to read.

This is matched by the content, which is extremely varied: the book contains poems about love, happiness, the wonders of the seasons, the weather, family, the worlds troubles.

An instant classic that will be read for decades to come.GuardianA stone cold masterpiece. Rachel Cooke, ObserverSpectacular.PW (starred review)Something like David Lynch meets Raymond Chandler in Manhattan . . . as unnerving as it is hypnotic.Buzz MagIt was a wrong number that started it . . .From its iconic opening, The New York Trilogy famously blurred the lines between postmodern literature and noir fiction. Now, for the first time, all three books have been adapted for this landmark graphic novel, each by a different artist, and all overseen by Paul Auster before his death.In David Mazzucchellis take on City of Glass, a writer of detective fiction is drawn into a real-life case far stranger than anything he has ever written; in Lorenzo Mattottis Ghosts, a private eye is hired to stalk a man only to discover a case so puzzling he descends into madness; and in series Director Paul Karasiks The Locked Room, another author hopes to cure his writers block by solving the disappearance of his childhood friend. As each artist channels the cross-genre thrills of their source material, with its joyous mix of highbrow and lowbrow, the result is a groundbreaking new visual take on a modern classic.
