Книга: Paul Auster «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). Издательство: "Macmillan Publishers" (2007)

Biography
Paul Auster was born in He married his second wife, writer In the 1980s, he briefly played Writing Following his acclaimed debut work, a memoir entitled " 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 (" Themes Two strong elements in Paul Auster's writing are Jacques Lacan's 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 Lacan is considered to be one of the key figures of French 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 " 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. 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 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 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.
