The couple hires Quinn to watch the father. It is here where Auster inserts another plot about a son's belief that his father will kill him once released from a mental institution. When he receives a call intended for someone else, he doesn't clear up the misconception, takes the call, and becomes a part of a mystery that is similar to the plot within his own novels. The narrator begins to provide more depth into Quinn's character as the latter assumes another person's identity, namely a private detective. The narrator describes Quinn as writing novels once a year for about six months, leaving the rest of his time to idleness. Auster begins with a narrator revealing the habits of the central character whose name is Quinn, a man who writes mystery novels and is currently withdrawn from everyday life. Paul Auster's mystery novel 'City of Glass' centers on multiple plots and characters with multiple identities.
