I don't have the time right now to give this book due justice in its review. Our narrator, at times, feels like more a mouthpiece for the author, as we explore a variety of philosophies around books and literacy and texts in translation. Anyone bookish, anyone who has felt more at home alone in a library or in the company of other strangers reading will enjoy this.
