About This Book
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, Travels in the Scriptorium sees Auster return
to more metaphysical territory. A dark puzzle, and a game that
implicates both reader and writer alike, it is an ingenious exploration
of language, responsibility and the passage of time.
