read these two articles as theyll help you enourmously with the book.

one of the significant themes is Quinns 'non-existing' existence and his lack of social contact.

*Quinn - the 'real' man, but a living dead, -> 'He no longer wished to be dead. At the same time it cannot be said that he was glad to be alive".."as if he somehow lived a posthumous life' p.6
*William Wilson - the pseudonym who writes mystery novels but also the 'bridge' that allowed Quinn to pass from himself into Work (p.7) ventriloquist of Quinn the dummy.
*Max Works - the character in his novels who is almost more real (p.10) - he is what Quinn is not
*Paul Auster, the detective - conceived on the same date as Quinn himself.

also look at quinns description of new york..

hope it helped
