The Invisible Library

Started in a post by Levi Stahl on Ivebeenreadinglately, the Invisible Library idea is catching on and now has it’s own website.

Earlier this summer, inspired by book-filled novels by Graham Greene and Vladimir Nabokov, I hit upon the idea of using the Internet to start a catalog of books that exist only within other books—a Borgesian invisible library. [. . .]

Come by for a visit: whether you find your fancy piqued by Odo Stevens’s wartime memoir Sad Majors or Fellowes Kraft’s Joseph-Campbellesque mythic exploration Time’s Body or Sebastian Knight’s little-understood first novel, The Prismatic Bezel, we promise you’ll leave empty-handed.

I think this is a really fun idea, and I’m sure there will be a ton of additions from Bolano’s Nazi Literature in the Americas in the near future.
