Chris Pace's thesis (10631 words) |
 | Auster's detectives are all very straightforward, both in their manners and their speech; when we are first introduced to them, they all believe that "each word [tallies] the thing described" and that "words are transparent...great windows that stand between [them] and the world" (The New York Trilogy 174). |
| Auster chooses to use the detective genre in the trilogy at least in part because the rigid conventions of this form underline the set "roles" that the reader, the author, and the characters are supposed to play in the creation of the book. |
| Auster, I believe, points out this hazard by making his characters aware that, like some readers, they are trapped in the locked room of a conventionally structured novel whose structures lead only back to the text itself, and not to the world that exists outside of the novel. |

| Auster Aircraft Limited began as Taylorcraft Aeroplanes (England) Limited in 1938 making light observation aircraft designed by the Taylorcraft Aircraft Corporation of America at the Britannia Works, Thurmaston near Leicester, England. |
| 1,604 high wing Auster monoplanes were built during the Second World War WWII for the armed forces of the UK. |
| The air observation duties, insurgency and casualty evacuation roles performed by Austers and similar light aircraft were generally taken over by light helicopters from the mid 1960s. |
