内容説明
The following book explores the intertextual relationship between Paul Auster's first and most remarkable work, The New York Trilogy (1987), and the works of certain American and European writers who shaped this novel and Auster's future works. Auster's The New York Trilogy is a novel formed by an intertextual dialogue which in some cases it is explicit, mentioning authors and books intentionally, and in others implicit, provoked by Auster's admiration for authors such as Samuel Beckett or product of his role as a translator, as it occurs with Maurice Blanchot. These two different ways of intertextuality essentially show Auster's influence of the American Renaissance, Samuel Beckett's fiction and the work of the writer and critic Maurice Blanchot. In these terms, this book proposes an exhaustive analysis of City of Glass and Herman Melville's "Bartleby, the Scrivener," Ghosts and Edgar Allan Poe's "William Wilson" and The Locked Room and Nathaniel Hawthorne's Fanshawe. The two last chapters also offer a thorough analysis of the whole trilogy in comparison to Samuel Beckett's trilogy Molloy, Malone Dies and The Unnamable and finally introduces a study of the trilogy as a fictionalization of Maurice Blanchot's literary theory.
