Paul Scraton Book order

The narrative explores the theme of journeys through Ben's trip from London to a small German island to visit his dying friend, Pascal. As Ben travels, he reflects on voice notes from Pascal that correspond to various photographs, each capturing a significant moment in Pascal's life. This intertwining of past memories and present realities deepens the emotional connection between the friends as they confront mortality and the impact of shared experiences.

In the Pines is author Paul Scraton's story of an unnamed narrator's lifelong relationship with the forest and the mysteries it contains, told through fragmented stories that capture the blurred details and sharp focus of memory. With photographs by Eymelt Sehmer.

The stories of Berlin are the stories BUILT ON SAND; a novel offering a portrait of a city three decades on from the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the legacy of that history in a city that was once divided but remains fractured and fragmented.

Inspired by his wife's collection of family photographs from the 1930s and her memories of growing up on the Baltic coast in GDR-era East Germany, Paul Scraton's Ghosts on the Shore unearths the stories, folklore and contradictions of the coast, where politics, history and personal memory merge to create a nuanced portrait of place.

The Panke River flows into Berlin from Bernau, a small town northeast of the city. Paul Scraton follows its course backwards, from the lively north Berlin district of Wedding, through a kaleidoscopic suburban terrain populated by downtrodden office workers, would-be kings and apparitional hospital patients. As he turns his back on the city and finds the world at its doorstep he writes a walking meditation on the peripheral spaces which flow ceaselessly back to the centre.
