Travels in the Scriptorium - Paul Auster

Descriere Travels in the Scriptorium - Paul Auster

Both chilling and poignant, this labyrinthine novel by the author of Leviathan follows a man who awakens disoriented in an unfamiliar chamber, as he pieces together clues to his past--and the identity of his captors. \n \nAn old man awakens, disoriented, in an unfamiliar chamber. With no memory of who he is or how he has arrived there, he pores over the relics on the desk, examining the circumstances of his confinement and searching his own hazy mind for clues. \n \nDetermining that he is locked in, the man--identified only as Mr. Blank--begins reading a manuscript he finds on the desk, the story of another prisoner, set in an unfamiliar, alternate world. As the day passes, various characters call on Mr. Blank in his cell, and each brings frustrating hints of his forgotten identity and his past. \n \nBoth chilling and poignant, Travels in the Scriptorium is vintage Paul Auster: mysterious texts, fluid identities, a hidden past, and, somewhere, an obscure tormentor. And yet, as we discover during one day in the life of Mr. Blank, his world is not so different from our own.\n
