The New York Trilogy

These three novellas have something in common, although I can't quite put my finger on it. It's all about searching for someone who doesn't want to be found or about watching someone who is aware of being watched. The first story was the most strange of them, seemed a little incomplete to me and I didn't know what to make of it, the second one seemed rather abstract, unreal in a way, though still quite compelling, but the third one was exactly what I look for in literature: a rich story full of little meanders, with authentic, relatable people in it. I particularly liked this third novel "The Locked Room", but without the other two, something would have been missing.
