Description

Disappearing manuscripts. Profane numbers. Extinct bacteria. Cities without shadows. A language spoken entirely in rythms. A man deaf solely to the waltzes of Chopin. These are among the anomalies to be found in the Library of Tangents, a vast underground archive whose beguiling exhibitions are detailed by Alex Rose in this debut collection. A masterful fusion of science-historic precision and magical realistic caprice, this Pandora's Box of curious tales stands in the tradition of Borges, Calvino and Pavi.
