Tiivistelmä
Engaging with the US author Paul Auster's fiction, the article explores how the stories his characters tell, in order to survive traumatic experiences, move them across their urban landscapes. Focusing on Auster's Moon Palace (1989) and In the Country of Last Things (1987), the article shows how the mobility of the main characters' stories opens a parallax view, which reveals the past as an integral part of the experience of the present moment and the negotiation of trauma.
