The purpose of this paper is to analyze the identity of Quinn, the main character of Auster’s City of Glass from the perspective of Deleuze’s affect theory. The relationship between Quinn and Stillman Sr., which began with a phone call asking Quinn to track down Stillman Sr., takes the form of a anti-detective novel, breaking away from conventions such as simple detective novels, and shows the changing aspects of Quinn’s identity in the process. In particular, Quinn, who has lost his wife and son and has lost the meaning of life, hides behind the pseudonym Wilson and Work, the main character of a detective story, and goes to a new world through a relationship with Stillman Sr. Deleuze’s affect expresses the increase and decrease of the ability to act in the relationship between things and human beings. Quinn shows changes in his body and consciousness through meeting Stillman Sr. and coming into contact with the things that make up the city of New York. As a result, through the affect between people and things, Quinn entered into the world of time that Masumi says is 0.5 seconds. This world is a moment of affect and is also a category of dehumanization of humans in a rupture between nature and culture, non-existence and existence, and body and spirit. In this respect, losing the existence of Quinn is not just disappearing, but an expansion into that world.
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the identity of Quinn, the main character of Auster’s City of Glass from the perspective of Deleuze’s affect theory. The relationship between Quinn and Stillman Sr., which began with a phone call asking Quinn to track down Stillman Sr., takes the form of a anti-detective novel, breaking away from conventions such as simple detective novels, and shows the changing aspects of Quinn’s identity in the process. In particular, Quinn, who has lost his wife and son and has lost the meaning of life, hides behind the pseudonym Wilson and Work, the main character of a detective story, and goes to a new world through a relationship with Stillman Sr. Deleuze’s affect expresses the increase and decrease of the ability to act in the relationship between things and human beings. Quinn shows changes in his body and consciousness through meeting Stillman Sr. and coming into contact with the things that make up the city of New York. As a result, through the affect between people and things, Quinn entered into the world of time that Masumi says is 0.5 seconds. This world is a moment of affect and is also a category of dehumanization of humans in a rupture between nature and culture, non-existence and existence, and body and spirit. In this respect, losing the existence of Quinn is not just disappearing, but an expansion into that world.
