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.\n\nThe 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?\n\nMoving 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.”\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0140131558\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 31UIGP006XIM_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Auster, Paul\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
