Praise for The New York Trilogy

 "...a stone-cold masterpiece, an instant classic that will be read for decades to come." — The Guardian

“…the big treat of the year for anyone who loves great fiction and great comics.”
Comics Grinder

“Spectacular graphic adaptation... This long-anticipated volume was well worth the wait.”
Publishers Weekly

“Karasik... wraps up the trilogy with a celebration of the infinite narrative and design possibilities offered by the comic-book page, amplifying the themes of Auster’s work with visuals that find expressionistic new ways to present the source material.”
The A.V. Club

“[C]haracters’ descents into madness or explanations of complex theories, receive rich visualization from the talented trio of artists: Mazzucchelli’s crisp, confident lines; Mattotti’s sumptuous shading; and Karasik’s inventive paneling.”
Kirkus Reviews

An immersive and innovative adaptation, blending exhilaratingly experimental storytelling, tropes and an atmosphere drawn from the noir genre, metafiction, and philosophical musings about art and identity.”
Library Journal

“…an extremely brilliant adaptation well worth the decades it took to complete it.
