Book • 1987
The New York Trilogy consists of three novels: *City of Glass* (1985), *Ghosts* (1986), and *The Locked Room* (1986).

*Ghosts* follows Blue, a detective hired to watch a man named Black, leading to an identity crisis and a blurring of reality.
*The Locked Room* narrates the story of an unnamed writer who assumes the identity of his childhood friend Fanshawe, leading to a complex exploration of identity and authorship.
The trilogy is known for its experimental style and its exploration of themes such as truth, language, and the self.
