"This collection of poetry and prose is a little like going for a long hike out into the redwoods and coming upon a beautiful library, well lit, and cozy and there’s no one but you and all these amazing books that you are welcome to read as long as you treat everything with the respect it deserves. Wouldn’t that be an amazing experience?"

Book Favorite

"LaValle writes horror, but horror as a way to move in closer to the complexities of our minds and our society. This novel takes the reader on a wild coast-to-coast journey that begins in an unusual library in a forest and includes many vividly memorable scenes, allowing for amazing, surreal access to our protagonist's psyche and the inner workings of America."

"This 1988 book about the discoveries of 20th-century physics delights me so much that I keep several copies—a hardback for my library, a paperback for traveling, and an extra copy or two to press on friends. Pais, a physicist himself, was in a unique position to portray the whole landscape of modern physics in its most exciting century."

Jorge Luis Borges, Andrew Hurley | 2000 | Fiction & Poetry

Book Favorite

"I read one of Borges’ short stories in a science-fiction magazine when I was 20, and I immediately fell in love with his style and his universe. Later on, I discovered that the short story, ‘The Babel Library,’ was part of this collection of short stories. Borges is the only South American writer all of whose books I have read and reread."

4.5/5 stars.<br/>Not only does this novel tick most of my boxes, the setting of the New York Public Library was even more of a draw. Seriously, what avid reader doesn’t like reading books that take place in libraries and book stores, right?
