Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2003 im Fachbereich Amerikanistik - Literatur, Note: 1.0, Bergische Universität Wuppertal (Anglistik/Amerikanistik), Veranstaltung: Paul Auster und der postmoderne Roman, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Um City of Glass als (Anti-) Detektivroman untersuchen zu können, müssen zuerst die Merkmale dieses Genres, als dessen Begründer Edgar Allan Poe mit seinen geradezu prototypischen Dupin-Romanen gilt (vgl. Grella 89), vorgestellt werden. Die Wurzeln dieser Gattung liegen in der Romantik, wo erstmals Fragen der Subjektivität ("ist etwas objektiv vorhanden, wenn jemand anders es auch sieht?") und der Wahrheit in das Interesse der Literaten rückten. Die gothic novels sowie die sensational novels von Dickens und Collins können als Vorläufer des klassischen Detektivromans gesehen werden (vgl. Buchloh 8), dessen Handlung typischerweise eines (oder mehrere) der folgenden drei Themen in den Mittelpunkt stellt: "a) die Frage nach dem Täter [...] (who?) b) die Frage nach der Tatdurchführung [...] (how?) c) die Frage nach den Tatmotiven [...] (why?)" (17f.). Zudem zeigt die Tatsache, dass Figuren wie Sherlock Holmes oder Pater Brown größere Bekanntheit erlangten als ihre Erfinder, wie wichtig die Figur des Detektives für dieses Genre ist - deshalb sollen vornehmlich Austers Detektivfiguren in dieser Arbeit untersucht werden. "Only [the detective] is granted the power to arrive at the correct deduction from the most tenuous or ambigous evidence" (Grella 86). Hier kann man verschiedene Typen unterscheiden. Da gibt es den Great Detective, den hochintelligenten Einzelgänger, "der in einsamer Tätigkeit die Rätsel löst" (Buchloh 19) und durch seine analytischen Fähigkeiten eine Art Übermensch darstellt, also Figuren wie Poes Auguste Dupin, Doyles Sherlock Holmes oder Christies Hercule Poirot. Sie interessieren sich nicht unbedingt für "die Wiederherstellung von gesellschaftlichem 'law and order' [...], ihnen geht es um die intellektuelle Herausforderung durch ei

Sie interessieren sich nicht unbedingt für „die Wiederherstellung von gesellschaftlichem ‚law and order’ [...], ihnen geht es um die intellektuelle Herausforderung durch ein Problem” (20). Im Kontrast dazu steht der „Detektiv als Hersteller von Recht und Ordnung” (21), der in einer korrupten Welt idealisierte moralische Werte und einen Gerechtigkeitssinn vertritt, mit denen sich der Leser identifizieren kann (Beispiel: Raymond Chandlers Marlowe). Im Amerika der 30er Jahre war die sogenannte „hard-boiled detective story” mit diesem Typ Detektiv, der mit unerschrockener tough guy-Attitüde seine Fälle löst, sehr populär.

Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, Humboldt-University of Berlin (Department of English and American Studies), course: The Flaneur and the Visual Culture of the City, 30 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: “To stroll is a science, it is the gastronomy of the eye. To walk is to vegetate, to stroll is to live.” (Balzac, "Physiologie du Mariage") 'City of Glass' is Paul Auster’s first novel, published in 1985, after being rejected by several publishers. The first part of 'The New York Trilogy' has been translated into 17 languages so far, a fact that pleads for the novel’s commercial success nowadays. An indication for the literary importance of 'City of Glass' is the continually growing number of essays, anthologies and monographs all over the world. It is undeniable that its selling success is related to the general fascination for the cosmopolitan city of New York and for detective stories, as — at first sight — Auster’s novel follows the tradition of Edgar Allan Poe. However, he follows the tradition “as creator of ‘the lost ones’”, as — on closer inspection — the reader has to realize that the real mystery is one of confused character identities and realities. 'City of Glass' does not meet the reader’s expectations about a typical New York ‘city novel’: Auster created an adequate text for a modified, postmodern cityscape where all objects of the city seem like linguistic codes that need to be deciphered. The risks of the city result from the confusion of language and perception. The fear of an identity collapse comes along with the apparent collapse of the cityscape. Auster picks out the loss of stability and security in the city as central theme. He describes a world begging for order and interpretation where “nothing is real except chance”. (...) Auster's character Quinn is a deconstructed character of postmodernism, he acts like a 'flâneur', but does not feel comfortable while walking through the city, he seems lost. New York is the ‘nowhere’ Quinn has built around himself. Professor Stillman also seems to stroll like a 'flâneur', but he has to fulfill an operation (in contrast to the “classical” 'flâneur' who has no aim). Auster deconstructs the postmodern figure of the flâneur as he deconstructs the classical detective novel. Ironically, these very deconstructions help to shape the novel. Quinn can be read as flâneur adapted to a postmodern world, I argue. In the following, I will explore the relations between Auster’s 'City of Glass' and concepts of 'flânerie', strolling urban observing. In order to discuss 'flânerie' in Auster’s work, it is essential to take a closer look on the term first. (...)

The remarkable, acclaimed series of interconnected detective novels City of Glass, Ghosts, and The Locked Room, from New York Times bestselling author Paul Auster “Exhilarating . . . a brilliant investigation of the storyteller’s art guided by a writer-detective who’s never satisfied with just the facts.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer City of Glass: As a result of a strange phone call in the middle of the night, Quinn, a writer of detective stories, becomes enmeshed in a case more puzzling than any he might have written. Ghosts: Blue, a student of Brown, has been hired by White to spy on Black. From a window of a rented room on Orange Street, Blue keeps watch on his subject, who is across the street, staring out of his own window. The Locked Room: Fanshawe has disappeared, leaving behind his wife and baby and a cache of extraordinary novels, plays, and poems. What happened to him and why is the narrator, Fanshawe’s boyhood friend, lured obsessively into his life? Moving at the breathless pace of a thriller, this is a uniquely stylized trilogy of detective novels that The Washington Post Book World has classified as “post-existential private eye. . . . It’s as if Kafka has gotten hooked on the gumshoe game and penned his own ever-spiraling version.”
