Journeys in the Writing Room

A room with a single door and a single window, containing nothing but a bed, a writing desk, and a chair. An old man wakes up in this room with no memory. He doesn't remember who he is or how he got here. Unidentified people coming into the room accuse Mr. Bos that he cannot remember, and make vague remarks about his identity and past. A camera hidden in the ceiling constantly takes pictures of you, and a microphone records every sound in the room. It's like someone is watching. The new novel of Paul Auster, the most creative writer of today's American literature, Journeys in the Writing Room is perhaps the author's strangest novel with its mysterious texts, enigmatic identities, the secret past of its hero and its uncertain torturer. But maybe it's not that strange, considering that Mr. Empty's world is not so different from ours. While Mr. Bos's fictional life takes its place in the world created by Kafka, Beckett and Borges, it makes the reader feel today's reality with all its spookiness.
