I've so far only read City of Glass, and absolutely loved it.
It nailed the whole noir-pulp crime atmosphere, and all the way along had these faint little twists and cliches come up that make you feel all giddy for having recognized them.

I honestly haven't read too much like it.

this should be talked about

I think of calvino and borges, maybe murakami as a contemporary. I haven't read eco but from what I understand he does the "literary take on genre fic" well.

One of my favourite books published in the last twenty years. The metafictional aspect is very enjoyable. I'm a big fan of the whole "literary take on genre fic" as >>7587961
puts it.

Less Burroughs, more Kafka and Beckett mixed with Chandler. Really enjoyable. I've read some other Auster and it is not as good, so this might be his best.
