Can anyone recommend this writer?
Not exactly mainstream hardboiled, but nevertheless...
Auster, Paul
1947-, American writer, b. Newark, N.J. After publishing four
volumes of poetry, he wrote his first novel, Squeeze Play
(1982). A compelling storyteller, Auster is known for the
short novels of The New York Trilogy-City of Glass (1985),
Ghosts (1986), and The Locked Room
(1986)-surreal variations on the urban detective story.
Written with great clarity and touched by symbolism and a
sharply contemporary sensibility, his other novels include
The Music of Chance (1991), Leviathan (1992), and Timbuktu
(1999), a tale of dog and master told from the dog's point of
view. Auster is also an essayist, translator, screenwriter,
and memoirist.
