AB Detective fiction is one of the most popular literary genres because mystery and suspense are attractive aspects for the reader. Since detective fiction has been a recurrent genre for several authors over the years, it has been adapted to different literary movements. The present paper is a study of the detective fiction from a postmodernist perspective based on metafiction and the idea of identity, breaking with the traditional rules. In order to carry out this project, two main novels have been studied: The Murders in the Rue Morgue (1841) by Edgar Allan Poe and City of Glass (1985) by the postmodernist writer Paul Auster. These novels belong to the detective fiction but it is of interest to highlight that they are very different from each other especially regarding the profile of both detectives, C. Auguste Dupin and Daniel Quinn respectively.
