Paul Auster's Travels in the Scriptorium

Abstract

Paul Auster's Travels in the Scriptorium is a novel that deals with the idea of space, but concretely, and, from the perspective of Maurice Blanchot's theory of literature, it is an illustration of the space of fiction. Auster creates a writer as the protagonist of his novel and makes him interact with the characters he has created in a dialogue in which the writer is not outside the space of literature but inside, living the fate he has decided for his characters.
