Description
Does a book even have to exist to spark the imagination and linger there? Can the idea of a story sometimes hold greater power if the story is never brought to life? Within these pages is a collection of anonymous voices. They each want to tell you the essence, the details, the impact of a book they've read. That the works they describe aren't real leaves it entirely to the imagination whether they were masterpieces, failures, or something in between. Epic romances, thrillers, comedies, stories of war, loss, and triumph, collections of photographs, bizarre prose experiments -- they are spoken of one by one by people who have not been able to forget what the pages made them feel.
Lillinandra summons volumes that cannot be celebrated or condemned by critics, the public, or the passage of time. They belong to everyone and no one, and they will all, in their own way, be perfect forever, perhaps more enduring than if they had actually been born.
This edition also contains the short romantic fable “Toward the Close of November.”
