A new collection of essays by the Spanish writer and critic Jorge Carrion (b. 1976) focuses on “a square whose vertices are publishing houses, bookstores, private and public libraries.” As in his debut Bookshops, the author combines travel and cultural history into one narrative to go “in pursuit of literary topographies.” He investigates the history of Villa Malaparte, walks around London with the writer Ian Sinclair, talks with Alberto Mangel, director of the National Library of Argentina, remembering his predecessor Borges, debates new and second-hand bookstores with essayist Luigi Amara, and gets drawn into the frantic pace of life in Miami. A tireless researcher of the book territory, Carrion sensitively registers its changes: digitalization and the threat from marketplaces, new store formats, the new life of libraries, the renaissance of book experience spaces in South Korea and Japan. And, of course, once again he declares his love for books, bookstores and libraries - not only physical, but also fictional. The things that famous authors - Cervantes, Verne, Borges - gave us in their works, and the things that exist inside each of us.
