In his entertaining essay, writer and book critic Jorge Carrión (born 1976) takes the reader on a journey through the bookstores of the world. Following the author, we visit Shakespeare & Co in Paris, Wells in Winchester, Green Apple Books in San Francisco, Librairie des Colonnes in Tangier, Strand Bookstore in New York, small shops and huge bookstores. Carrion creates a picture of bookstores, viewing this institution through the lens of space and time as a uniquely authentic place, an isolated world, and an important cultural phenomenon.
"Bookstores" is a travelogue of a lively and curious observer, filled with stories from the universe of writing, publishing, and selling books. In Carrion's view, the bookstore is not so much a space for material transactions as a place for the gathering of people and ideas, for encounters that can change the world and lives.
