greetings. do you know any books that talk about the history of books/novels? 🌸

I think these should be good —

A History of Reading by Alberto Manguel: essays on what reading is, what it has been historically and philosophically

The Professor and the Madman by Simon Winchester: a history of the Oxford dictionary and how that came about/was put together

Bookshops by Jorge Carrion: less a history of books, more about reading and bookstores and the cultural value of the space. It's one of the most beautiful books I've ever read; the prose is so silky and poetic

The Library, a Fragile History by Andrew Pettegree: basically what it sounds like; about the institution, its personal and public life, and finally its cultural and political value

The Case for Books by Robert Darnton: looks at how writing and books and have been approached by societies, and through it, looks at how and if a case can be made for the material form of it to be preserved

The Book, a Global History by Michael Suarez and Henry Woudhuysen: an edited collection of essays about book-making, writing, and reading from all over the world

The Novel Before the Novel by Arthur Ray Heiserman: a history of the novelistic form; tries to position it in the development of modern intellectual history and modern pursuits of truth

If you want something very serious, there's The Novel: A Biography by Michael Schmidt and The Theory of the Novel by George Lukacs, although I wouldn't recommend Lukacs to start your reading with.

happy reading!

I loved all the little things, he hated about himself, from the way, he looked, while he slept, to the sound, of his laugh. I would have spent a lifetime, waiting for that man to come back, perhaps if he had loved himself, he wouldn't have needed a mask.

This December is making my heart sink, I just want to lie down, and lay in bed, covered under the blanket with a book in my lap, while it rains outside.

"Eros y civilización", de Herbert Marcuse

the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.
