Content warning: Suicide, mental illness and explicit language (one F-word).

Film noir and hardboiled crime fiction get refracted through a postmodern lens in Paul Karasik and David Mazzucchelli's adaptation of Paul Auster's City of Glass! A mysterious late-night phone call leads mystery novelist Daniel Quinn to assume the identity of private detective Paul Auster and investigate a case whose bizarre patterns and revelations cause Quinn to confront unanswerable questions about the nature of existence itself! Can Quinn hold onto his sanity and find refuge in that Naked City known as ... The Comics Canon?
