Ghosts

Book Review

Paul Auster's book «Ghosts» is the second part of his renowned «The New York Trilogy». In this work, the author continues to explore themes of identity, observation, and isolation. The main character, a detective named Blue, is tasked with watching a man named Black, leading to a complex game of shadows and mirrors. Critics note that Auster masterfully uses a minimalist style and metaphorical elements to create an atmosphere of mystery and tension. His use of colors in character names underscores the abstraction and symbolism of the narrative. Some reviewers believe that «Ghosts» explores the boundaries between reality and fiction, as well as raises questions about the nature of human existence. However, as with other works by Auster, some readers may find the narrative too abstract and lacking a traditional structure. Overall, the book has received positive reviews for its intellectual depth and originality.
