      About This Book

      In this short fiction Los Angeles writer Martin Nakell explores various ideas, philosophical and practical, about an entire library of books - how to classify them, how to order them, their bindings, their markings, and what their being within the same library means, how they "communicate" with one another - all of which helps to reveal the personality and mind of their owner Thomas Rivka. Suggesting other such fictions by figures from J. K. Huysmans to Jorge Luis Borges, The Library of Thomas Rivka is an absurdly humorous work - the collector even refuses to read his books - exploring and revealing what knowledge and the containers of that knowledge mean in the human experience.
