Librarians spend their lives weeding. Not weeds, but books! Books that have reached the end of their shelf life, both literally and figuratively. They remove the books that patrons no longer check out. And they put back the books they treasure.
Annie Spence Bücher
Annie Spence verfasst Erzählungen, die in einem einzigartigen literarischen Raum angesiedelt sind: der alltäglichen Welt, in der surreale Dinge geschehen. Ihre Schriften tauchen in das Außergewöhnliche im Gewöhnlichen ein und erforschen tiefgreifende menschliche Erfahrungen durch unerwartete und fantastische Ereignisse. Mit einer unverwechselbaren Stimme lädt sie die Leser in Welten ein, die die Grenzen zwischen Realität und Vorstellungskraft verschwimmen lassen. Ihr Debütwerk verkörpert diesen fesselnden erzählerischen Ansatz.
Have you ever wished you could tell your favourite books just what they mean to you? Or wanted to give a piece of your mind to the 'must-read' book that you wish you hadn't? Librarian Annie Spence has done just that, writing letters to the books under her care, from love letters to Matildaand The Goldfinch, to snarky break-up notes to Fifty Shades of Greyand The Hobbit. Annie's letters will make you laugh, remind you why you love your favourite books, and give you lots of new entries for your reading list. She's also on-hand to help out with your bookish dilemmas: recommendations for lazy readers; excuses to tell your friends when you'd rather stay home reading; and how to turn your lover into a reader. Hilarious, compassionate and smart, Dear Fahrenheit 451is the consummate book-lover's book.
