Review:
"This attention to detail lends a satisfying completeness to the novel. Kurzweil also displays the journalists ability to explore varied subjects making this an engaging story that deftly and wittily satiates at every level." (Times Play)
From the Publisher:
A wonderfully entertaining tour-de-force of a novel, reminiscent of Mark Danielewski’s House of Leaves in its wit, humour and sheer brio.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. First Edition. With a boss threatening to exile him to driving a bookmobile in Amish Country and a headstrong wife whose erotic pop-up books fail to revive the couples lost intimacy, Alexander retreats to a world of private annotation. Enter Henry James Jesson III, a collector with an improbably literary name, who shares a number of Alexanders unconventional interests. Soon, Jesson hires Alexander for some after-hours research. As his search advances, the librarian realizes there are many more secrets in Jessons life than the ones found in his dazzling Manhattan salon. Seller Inventory # DADAX0786866039
