    The purpose of this paper is to analyze Daniel Quinn"s identity crisis as depicted in contemporary American writer Paul Auster"s debut novella, City of Glass, which forms a part of The New York Trilogy along with its two companions, Ghost and The Locked Room. In this novella, the protagonist Daniel Quinn, has no idea about who he truly is and feels confused about his own identity after losing his intimate family members―his wife and son. Quinn takes on a series of identities, such as William Wilson, Max Work, Henry Dark, Peter Stillman, and so on, to resolve the identity crisis he is faced with, attempting to get rid of his miserable memories. However, he still cannot tell who he is, failing to decipher his own true identity. In addition, being situated in New York City, a post-modern location, Quinn"s identity is seriously affected by the influence of chance and uncertainty. As a result, ignorant of the disappearance of Peter Stillman and the death of the senior Peter Stillman, Quinn is trapped in an endless labyrinth of identity. City of Glass reveals some autobiographical elements and is closely relevant to Paul Auster"s own personal experience. Daniel Quinn"s embarkment on a journey to solve his identity crisis can be seen as Auster"s endeavoring to handle his own identity problems. Paul Auster reveals his concerns regarding the individual"s identity in the post-modern age, expressing his worries about the identity crisis the individual is faced with nowadays. Through City of Glass, Paul Auster tells readers that there is no certain answer to the question of identity in the post-modern age.
