Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A compilation of three detective fiction novellas by Paul Auster. Well, that might be oversimplifying things a little bit. The New York Trilogy's three stories are postmodern Mind Screws based on the format of the standard detective novel and Film Noir, piling mysteries on mysteries and mystery of mystery itself.

As the Good Book Says...: The book contains much discussion — and some quotation — of the Tower of Babel story.

As Herself: Paul Auster's second wife Siri Hustvedt, and his son Daniel, appear as themselves. The physical description of Virginia Stillman is quite close to that of Auster's first wife Lydia Davis when she was a young woman.

Tomato Surprise: Towards the end of the novella, the previously invisible narrator starts talking about themself in the first person, criticises the behaviour of the Paul Auster character, and wishes Quinn well, whatever became of him.

Contrived Coincidence: Quinn has no better explanation for how he ended up on the case than this.
