AB Paul Auster is one of the most widely studied postmodern authors and his novels have been extensively used as paradigmatic examples of the fiction of this movement. In the light of the recent theoretical debate about the passing of postmodernism, it seems fundamental to explore the way in which Auster conceives the  nature  of  this  paradigm,  the  problems  it  arises  and  their  possible  solutions.  The  aim  of  this  article  is  to  analyse  two  recurring  types  of  characters  from  the  Austerian  universe  that  represent  two  great  sources  of  influence  on  the  novelist:  Ludwig Wittgenstein’s philosophy and the ideas from American transcendentalism
