Paul Auster’s New York Trilogy — a group of three meta-fictional detective novels published in the mid-eighties — are undisputed cult classics, but still haven’t gotten the widespread recognition they deserve. In the second installment, Ghosts, a private eye named Blue is contracted by someone named White to investigate a person called Black — and it gets weirder from there. Pick up this sturdy new hardcover and prepare to have your brain warped by one of the most brilliant mystery series ever penned.
