The hero wakes up in a hotel room, far from home. He has a stack of postcards that will help him remember who he is, where he has been and whom he has loved. This is the plot of Norwegian writer Thorbjørn Oppedal's novel The Paper Pilots, a story of fictional travel, amnesia and love in the age of Lonely Planet guidebooks.
The book is assembled from brief notes about sleepless nights, Japanese paper art kirigami, padlocks, a knife cutting flesh, blizzards and jazz, cryptic manuscripts and those rare moments when two people can understand each other without words. This book is a true ode to postcards, which form a cycle invisible to the world and represent an unrecognized art for lovers and collectors of all sorts of oddities. The highlight of the book are Svein Sturksen's illustrations, which reflect the narrative through associations and are created in the technique of analog collages of postcards from all over the world.
