Librarian - 9781772440171

An evocative post-apocalyptic vision of loss, love and redemption ... Last man on earth-I'm beginning to fantasize that. The last human survivor! Seems very unlikely, in a world inhabited by so many millions of people in so many cities, so many countries. But in this silence-who knows? Actually, I think it's the silence, and my deepening sense of isolation, that are encouraging me to think I may be alone, completely alone. -But how will I find out for sure, now that radio and TV and newspapers and the Internet and of course social media have all gone? So, don't even think about it! If I am the last, there's nobody out there to care! Keep active, exercise-think and write. No returned books to re-shelve now-or very few, the final few. However, I always did find pleasure and some company, or illusion of company, in books-and in my own writing, those unpublished poems and short stories piled up in my closet at home! So now here I am taking refuge again in the comfort of words? Beloved words! Of course nobody will read the ones I write now, almost certainly they won't. So who am I writing them for? Myself, I guess. My other self. The urge to communicate remains, remains to the end?-even if only with oneself. So begins "Librarian," a compelling short novel of survival and the search for meaning. Compelling characters and thought-provoking meditations on the meaning of philosophy and literature in a world gone wrong make "Librarian" a book you won't put down-and won't soon forget.
