Produktbeschreibung
Following in the steps of the skillful story telling traditions of Scheherazade and Borges, Osdany Morales leads the reader along a meandering path of tales connected through the narrator¿s expedition to visit the Seven Libraries of the World. The underlying account of his travels fades to the background as the reader is enticed into each side story, later returning to the surface to maintain the links as he and his stories traverse diverse geographic locations and centuries. Despite the unifying factor, each of the seven stories is a different style (fantasy, metafiction, suspense, chronicle, etc.) As a writer himself, the narrator¿s journey takes on additional significance as he is invited into each library under the condition that he leave one of his works to add to the collection. Throughout the stories Morales scatters references to writers, films, philosophies, history, geography, and more.
