I'm guessing this was really hard to adapt to the graphic novel medium. City of Glass (the orignal story) is just so bizarre and looping and metaphysical and mysterious. But David Mazzucchelli (and Paul Karasik) pull it off beautifully. I wouldn't use it as a substitute for Paul Auster's story but more as a sister-text. It enriches the original piece but I would imagine first time readers would be very confused. Mazzucchelli continues to kick illustrative ass.
