Description for The Library of Unrequited Love
Paperback. A lonely librarian opens her heart.. Translator(s): Reynolds, Sian. Num Pages: 96 pages. BIC Classification: FA; FYT. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 132 x 195 x 8. Weight in Grams: 88.
One morning a librarian finds a reader who has been locked in overnight.
She begins to talk to him, a one-way conversation full of sharp insight and quiet outrage. As she rails against snobbish senior colleagues, an ungrateful and ignorant public, the strictures of the Dewey Decimal System and the sinister expansionist conspiracies of the books themselves, two things shine through: her unrequited passion for a researcher named Martin, and an ardent and absolute love for the arts.
A delightful divertissement for the discerning bookworm...
