Ghosts by Paul Auster

Ghost by Paul Auster is a novel about a detective named Blue who was assigned by White to spy on a man named Black. Blue becomes skeptical because he's never really told the reason as to why he is spying on him. Blue starts to become even more skeptical after a while of watching him and the inactivity of Black. He starts to question everything and life for him starts to become distorted. In the beginning I had trouble understanding the novel because all the characters were named after colors. When I figured it out I found it interesting and started pondering what the significance of the colors might be.I thought there may be a connection between the colors and Blue questioning his identity. Maybe the author was trying to give the characters a lack substance? The reasoning is actually lost to me, but the book was interesting non-the-less.
