À propos de cet audio

 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.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Auster's lean, poker-faced prose creates a satisfyingly claustrophobic allegory." ( Publishers Weekly)
"Archly playful and shrewdly philosophical . . . Celebrates the power of the imagination . . . The labyrinthine nature of the mind…[A] tribute to the transcendence of stories." (Donna Seaman, Booklist)
"Auster has an enormous talent for creating worlds that are both fantastic and believable. . . . His novels are uniformly difficult to put down, a testament to his storytelling gifts." (Timothy Peters, San Francisco Chronicle)

A great discovery!

I listened as this was free from Audible Plus, and I’m glad I did, because now I have discovered the author Paul Auster. I will definitely read more of his works.
This particular story, while short, was intriguing. The truth seemed just beyond the listener’s grasp, as it it was for the protagonist. I recommend it!

not the right narrator for Paul Auster

I love Paul Auster's work. I've listened to all his books that he read himself on audible and a couple by other narrator. But Dick Hill didn't do a good job on the narration. His intonations were so out of place and multiple times I had to tone down the volume cuz it was too loud but then tone it back up. It was inconsistent. It killed the job of listening. I wish I had read the book instead.
