dc.description.abstract	The search for a meaning and substance is fundamental for the two protagonists in Paul Auster´s "City of Glass" and "Ghosts". Just as the reader they are left without a solution concerning the cases. As a postmodern writer, Auster tries to destroy logocentrism, the search for truth and questions the written word as being a portrayal of the signified. In using theories from Blanchot, this essay concentrates on the interaction between author/reader, writer/characters and how the books´ protagonists disappear as a fictional dissolving.	sv
