A confessional from the daughter of a pathologically literary
family, once reduced to poring over a 1974 Toyota Corolla manual
because she'd read everything else at home at least twice.
Essential reading for the serious book-lover. (Kirkus UK)
Anne Fadiman is the sort of person who learned about sex from her father's copy of Fanny Hill, and who once found herself poring over a 1974 Toyota Corolla manual because it was the only thing in her apartment that she had not read at least twice.
EX LIBRIS wittily recounts a lifelong obsession with books. Writing with humour and erudition she moves easily from anecdotes about Coleridge and Orwell to tales of her own pathologically literary family.
