In this collection of essays, Alberto Manguel argues that the activity of reading, in its broadest sense, defines our species. The essays explore the crafts of reading & writing, the identity granted to us by literature, the far-reaching shadow of Jorge Luis Borges, & the links between politics & books, & between books & our bodies.
