Ein alter Mann in einem Raum; Fenster, Bett, Tisch und Stuhl, das ist alles. Jeden Morgen kann er sich an nichts erinnern. An die Möbel sind Zettel geheftet, Fotos und Papiere liegen auf dem Tisch. Eine Frau kommt herein, die von Tabletten und Heilung spricht, aber auch von Liebe. Bleibt ihm noch Zeit das Rätsel zu entschlüsseln ? iAn ingenious exploration of language, responsibility and the passage of time. /ib An Auster classic, perfect for the upmarket'summer reading'. /b
An 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.

Determining 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.

Both 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.
