All books have histories, and libraries are not just collections of books and databases but a medium of long-distance communication with other writers and readers.Letter to a Future Lover collects several dozen brief pieces written in response to library ephemera-with \"library\" defined broadly, ranging from university institutions to friends' shelves, from a seed library to a KGB prison library-and addressed to readers past, present, and future. Through these witty, idiosyncratic essays, Ander Monson reflects on the human need to catalog, preserve, and annotate; the private and public pleasures of reading; the nature of libraries; and how the self can be formed through reading and writing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972088758560,"sku":"NEW1555977065","price":25.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91Ixig0yuUL.jpg?v=1783791746","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/letter-to-a-future-lover-marginalia-errata-secrets-inscriptions-and-other-ephemera-found-in-libraries-1555977065","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
