Travels in the Scriptorium

Серия: "-"

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 Benjamin Auster (born February 3, 1947, Newark, New Jersey) is a Brooklyn-based author known for works blending absurdism and crime fiction, such as "The New York Trilogy" (1987), "Moon Palace" (1989) and "The Brooklyn Follies" (2005).

Biography

Paul Auster was born in Newark, New JerseyFreeman, John. [http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1207159751661&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull "At home with Siri and Paul"] , "The Jerusalem Post", April 3, 2008. Accessed September 19, 2008. "Like so many people in New York, both of them are spiritual refugees of a sort. Auster hails from Newark, New Jersey, and Hustvedt from Minnesota, where she was raised the daughter of a professor, among a clan of very tall siblings."] , to Jewish middle class parents of Polish descent Samuel and Queenie Auster. He grew up in South Orange, New Jersey [Begley, Adam. [http://www.nytimes.com/books/99/06/20/specials/auster-92mag.html "Case of the Brooklyn Symbolist"] , "The New York Times", August 30, 1992. Accessed September 19, 2008. "The grandson of first-generation Jewish immigrants, he was born in Newark in 1947, grew up in South Orange and attended high school in Maplewood, 20 miles southwest of New York."] and graduated from Columbia High School in adjoining Maplewood. [Freeman, Hadley. [http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2002/oct/26/fiction.fashion "American dreams: He may be known as one of New York's coolest chroniclers, but Paul Auster grew up in suburban New Jersey and worked on an oil tanker before achieving literary success. Hadley Freeman meets a modernist with some very traditional views"] , "The Guardian", October 26, 2002. Accessed September 19, 2008. "Education: Columbia High School, New Jersey; 1965-69 Columbia College, New York; '69-70 Columbia University, New York (quit after one year)"] After graduating from Columbia University in 1970, he moved to Paris, France where he earned a living translating French literature. Since returning to the U.S. in 1974, he has published poems, essays, novels of his own as well as translations of French writers such as Stéphane Mallarmé and Joseph Joubert.

He married his second wife, writer Siri Hustvedt, in 1981, and they live together in Brooklyn. Together they have one daughter, Sophie Auster. Previously, Auster was married to the acclaimed writer Lydia Davis. They had one son together, Daniel Auster.

In the 1980s, he briefly played trombone with the Christian pop band Sonseed. He is also the Vice-President of PEN American Center.

Writing

Following his acclaimed debut work, a memoir entitled "The Invention of Solitude", Auster gained renown for a series of three loosely-connected detective stories published collectively as "The New York Trilogy". These books are not conventional detective stories organized around a mystery and a series of clues. Rather, he uses the detective form to address existential issues and questions of identity, space, language and literature, creating his own distinctively postmodern (and critique on postmodernism) form in the process.

The search for identity and personal meaning has permeated Auster's later publications, many of which concentrate heavily on the role of coincidence and random events ("The Music of Chance") or increasingly, the relationships between men and their peers and environment ("The Book of Illusions", "Moon Palace"). Auster's heroes often find themselves obliged to work as part of someone else's inscrutable and larger-than-life schemes. In 1995, Auster wrote and co-directed the films "Smoke" (which won him the Independent Spirit Award for Best First Screenplay) and "Blue in the Face". Auster's more recent works, "Oracle Night" (2004), "The Brooklyn Follies" (2005) and the novella "Travels in the Scriptorium" have also met critical acclaim.

Themes

Two strong elements in Paul Auster's writing are Jacques Lacan's psychoanalysis and the American transcendentalism of the early to middle 19th century, namely amongst others Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau.

In short Lacan's theory declares that we enter the world through words. We observe the world through our senses but the world we sense is structured (mediated) in our mind through language. Thus our subconscious is also structured as a language. This leaves us with a sense of anomaly. We can only perceive the world through language, but we have the feeling of a lack. The lack is the sense of a being outside of language. The world can only be constructed through language but it always leaves something uncovered, something that can not be told and be thought of, it can only be sensed. This can be seen as one of the central themes of Paul Auster's writing.

Lacan is considered to be one of the key figures of French poststructuralism. Some academics are keen to discern traces of other poststructuralist philosophers throughout Auster's oeuvre - mainly Jacques Derrida, Jean Baudrillard and Michel de Certeau - although Auster himself has claimed to find such philosophies 'unreadable' [http://www.charlierose.com/shows/2004/03/04/3/a-conversation-with-author-paul-auster]

The transcendentalists believe in the fact that the symbolic order of civilization separated us from the natural order of the world. By moving into nature - like Thoreau in "Walden" - it would be possible to return to this natural order.

The common factor of both ideas is the question of the meaning of symbols for human beings. [Heiko Jakubzik: "Paul Auster und die Klassiker der American Renaissance". Dissertation, Universität Heidelberg 1999 ( [http://www.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/archiv/7259/ online text] )] Auster's protagonists are often writers who establish meaning in their lives through writing, and they try to find their place within the natural order to be able to live again in civilization.

Edgar Allan Poe, Samuel Beckett, and Herman Melville have also had a strong influence on Auster's writing. Not only do their characters reappear in Austers work (like William Wilson in "New York Trilogy" or Hawthorne's Fanshawe in "The Locked Room"). Auster also uses variations on the themes of these writers.

Paul Auster's reappearing subjects are: [Dennis Barone (ed.): "Beyond the Red Notebook. Essays on Paul Auster. Penn Studies in Contemporary American Fiction". University of Pennsylvania Press, Philadelphia (2. ed. 1996)]
* coincidence
* frequent portrayal of an ascetic life
* a sense of imminent disaster
* obsessive writer as central character/narrator
* loss of the ability to understand
* loss of language
* depiction of daily and ordinary life
* failure [Dirk Peters: "Das Motiv des Scheiterns in Paul Austers "City of Glass" und "Music of Chance". unpublished MA dissertation, Christian-Albrechts Universität Kiel, 1998]
* absence of a father
* writing/story telling, metafiction
* intertextuality
* American History
* American Space

Coincidence

Instances of coincidence can be found all over Auster's work. Auster himself claims that people are so influenced by all the consistent stories that surround them, that they do not see the elements of coincidence, inconsistency and contradiction in their own lives:

Failure

Failure in Paul Auster's works is not just the opposite of the happy ending. In "Moon Palace "or "The Book of Illusions" it results from the individual's uncertainty about the status of his own identity. The protagonists start a search for their own identity and reduce their life to the absolute minimum. From this zero point they gain new strength and start their new life and they are also able to get into contact with their environment again. A similar development can also be seen in "City of Glass" or "The Music of Chance".

Failure in this context is not the "nothing" - it is the beginning of something all new.

Identity/Subjectivity

Auster's protagonists often have to go through a development that reduces their existence to the absolute necessary: They cut off contact to their family and friends, hunger and lose or give away all their belongings. Out of this approximation of their nil they either gain new strength to connect to the world again or they fail and finally disappear.

Other media

* On the album "As Smart as We Are" by New York band One Ring Zero, Auster wrote the lyrics for the song "Natty Man Blues" based on Cincinnati poet Norman Finkelstein.

* In 2005 his daughter, Sophie, recorded an album of songs in both French and English, entitled "Sophie Auster", with the band One Ring Zero. The lyrics of three of the songs (in English) are by Paul Auster; and he also provided for the accompanying booklet translations of several French poems which form the lyrics of other songs on the album.

* In 1993, a movie adaptation of The Music of Chance was released. Auster features in a cameo role at the end of the film.

* In 1994 "City of Glass" was adapted as a graphic novel by artist David Mazzucchelli and Paul Karasik. Auster's friend, noted cartoonist Art Spiegelman, produced the adaptation.

* Jazz trumpeter and composer Michael Mantler's album "Hide and Seek" uses words by Auster from the play of the same name.

* Paul Auster's voice can be heard on the 2005 album entitled "We Must Be Losing It" by The Farangs. The two tracks are entitled "Obituary in the Present Tense" and "Between the Lines".

* In 2006 Paul Auster directed the film "The Inner Life of Martin Frost", based on an original screenplay by himself. It was shot in Lisbon and Azenhas do Mar and starred David Thewlis, Iréne Jacob and Michael Imperioli as well as Auster's daughter Sophie. Auster himself provided the narration, albeit uncredited. The film premiered at the European Film Market, as part of the 2007 Berlinale in Berlin, Germany on February 10, 2007, and opened in New York City on September 7 of the same year.

* The lyrics of Fionn Regan's 2006 song "Put A Penny In The Slot" mention Auster and his book "Timbuktu".

* Austrian composer Olga Neuwirth's composition "... ce qui arrive ..." (2004) combines the recorded voice of Paul Auster with ensemble music and live electronics by Markus Noisternig and Thomas Musil ( [http://iem.at Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics (IEM)] ). Paul Auster is heard reading from his books "Hand to Mouth" and "The Red Notebook", either as straight recitation, integrated with other sounds as if in a radio play, or passed through an electronically realized string resonator so that the low tones can interact with these of a string ensemble. A film by Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster runs throughout the work featuring the cabaret artist and actress Georgette Dee.
