Summary/Abstract: The paper analyses Paul Auster’s main characters, his doubles, as they have been called by critics along the years, and examines how they react in different situations. In this sense, it looks at their behavior inside and outside social norms, their adaptation to the surrounding environment, as well as their perception of space and their quest for identity. The paper focuses on the way in which the interior collides with the exterior and this collision affects the characters in Auster’s novels.
