Travels in the Scriptorium
Paul Auster
An old man sits in a room, with a single door and window, a bed, a desk and a chair. Each day he awakes with no memory, unsure of whether or not he is locked into the room. Attached to the few objects around him are one-word, hand-written labels, and on the desk is a series of vaguely familiar black-and-white photographs and four piles of paper. Then a middle-aged woman called Anna enters and talks of pills and treatment, but also of love and promises.
Who is this Mr Blank, and what is his fate? What does Anna represent from his past - and will he have enough time to ever make sense of the clues that arise?
After the huge success of The Brooklyn Follies, his new novel sees Auster return to the metaphysical territory familiar from his enormously influential The New York Trilogy. A dark puzzle, and a game that implicates both reader and writer alike, Travels in the Scriptorium is a mind-altering exploration of language, responsibility and the passage of time.
'Travels in the Scriptorium returns to . . . the nihilistic gaiety of Beckett (in particular Krapp) or the sub-dermal violence of Pinter.' New Statesman

Paul Auster (Newark, New Jersey, 1947 – Brooklyn, New York, 2024) bio je istaknuti američki romanopisac, esejist, prevodilac, scenarist i pjesnik. Svoju prepoznatljivost stekao je karakterističnim spojem egzistencijalizma, apsurda i metafikcije, često istražujući u svojim djelima teme identiteta, usamljenosti i potrage za smislom.
Studirao je na Univerzitetu Columbia, ali je napustio studij prije nego što ga je završio. Radio je kao prevodilac i urednik prije nego što se u potpunosti posvetio pisanju. Njegova književna karijera započela je objavljivanjem romana Stakleni grad (1985), kojim je uveo teme slučaja, koincidencije i nepredvidljive prirode ljudskog postojanja, koje će se ponavljati u njegovim romanima. Jedno od Austerovih najznačajnijih djela je Njujorška trilogija (1987), spoj tri međusobno povezana romana koja su ga učvrstila kao vodeću figuru u američkoj postmodernoj književnosti. Druga djela, poput romana Mjesečeva palača (1989), Glazba slučaja (1990), Levijatan (1992) i Bruklinska revija ludosti (2005), miješanjem elemenata detektivskog romana, autobiografije i filozofskih promišljanja, nadalje su samo potvrdila njegov ugled. Auster je pisao i poeziju, eseje i memoare, uključujući Izum samoće (1982) i Zimski dnevnik (2012). Okušao se i u pisanju scenarija i režiranju u filmovima poput Lulu na mostu (1998) i Unutrašnji život Martina Frosta (2007).
Auster je dobitnik brojnih nagrada i priznanja. Bio je član Američke akademije umjetnosti i književnosti i nosilac francuskog ordena za postignuća u umjetnosti i književnosti. Knjige su mu prevedene na više od četrdeset jezika. Cijenjen zbog svoga maštovitog pripovijedanja i intelektualne dubine, Auster nastavlja biti istaknut glas savremene američke književnosti.
