    About this ebook

    This novel could be considered almost autobiographical, since its hero Theodore, is very similar to Nodier himself. The bibliomaniac is a kind of hoarder. He collects books just for the sake of it, and many will stay unopened or unread. The pleasure lies simply in their possession.

      You Can’t Judge A Book By Its Cover

      Jan 25, 2024

      GOOD NOVELS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN heavily buffeted in the marketplace of ideas. “Many books are undeservedly forgotten; none are undeservedly remembered,” said W.H. Auden, who had clearly never heard of Wuthering Heights. So it’s natural — essential — for

      A Year in Reading: Matt Seidel

      Dec 9, 2017

      I tend to buy used books in bunches, which means the haul from some expeditions stays buried for weeks, months, years even. For this entry, I highlight three finds that, breaking custom, I bought and read almost immediately this year: Hugo Charteris’

      The Sensory Manifesto

      Feb 23, 2017

      À Rebours, a book about one man and his obsessions, shook more than a few trees and was regarded by many as a sensory manifesto that more than accommodated the aesthetic movement’s philosophy that every sense must be entertained, every object beautif

      The Strange Decline Of Literary Journalism

      Sep 20, 2023

      It's hard to tell whether my addiction to A Dance to the Music of Time is something to worry about. Is it a bit like spending too much time at one's club, when a more adventurous approach to social life might introduce me to ‘new people’? (‘Dread phr

      Very Hampstead, very Kingsley Amis

      Oct 29, 2020

      I HEARD THESE WORDS in the Flask Bookshop in Flask Walk, Hampstead — which I owned and ran from 1975 until 1988 — while slumped in the back room on my leather swivel chair, quite as usual, smoking a pipe and reading: I was always reading. It was a un

      A Sense of Sensibility: On ‘The Collected Essays of Elizabeth Hardwick’

      Oct 19, 2017

      In Hardwick’s criticism, we encounter an uncondescending intelligence, a humane sensibility, and a forthright independence of mind for which we, in our scatterbrained era, cannot be grateful enough. The post A Sense of Sensibility: On ‘The Coll

      Making the List

      Mar 1, 2022

      TO UNDERSTAND WHAT an index is, it may help to begin with what it is not. An index is not a table of contents—such a table would feed multitudes—but it does lay out in more granular form all of the contents of a book. An index is not a concordance, s

      A Literary Tourist’s Fruitless Search for the Canadian Dissident Novel

      Nov 22, 2017

      What you are looking for is something edgy.  Something from the counterculture.  About someone blocking a pipeline through unceded territory, maybe.  From anyone who writes in opposition to power, or writes about people who take chances.  The post A
