![]() ![]() Like Fadiman, I organize my books by nationality and subject matter, while her husband lumped all under the heading Literature. First they had to negotiate how the books would be placed on the shelf. In the first selection, Fadiman describes the hilarious and tender process of marrying her and her husband’s libraries after five years of marriage. The essays here are about books-loving books, living with them, building castles with them. She will be speaking at the Brattleboro Literary Festival in October. ![]() This is the first of several essay collections from Fadiman, former editor of The American Scholar and a founding editor of the Library of Congress magazine Civilization. An ardent reader who still remembers the glorious moment when I first decoded the black marks in a Golden Book and found a story waiting for me, I love books. ![]()
