About This Book
Bluma Lennon, distinguished professor of Latin American literature at
Cambridge, is hit by a car while crossing the street, immersed in a
volume of Emily Dickinson's poems. Several months after her untimely
demise, a package arrives for her from Argentina-a copy of a Conrad
novel, encrusted in cement and inscribed with a mysterious dedication.
Bluma's successor in the department (and a former lover) travels to
Buenos Aires to track down the sender, one Carlos Brauer, who turns out
to have disappeared.
The last thing known is that he moved to a remote stretch of the
Uruguayan coastline and built himself a house out of his enormous and
valuable library. How he got there, and why, is the subject of this
seductive novel-part mystery, part social comedy, and part examination
of all the many forms of bibliomania.
The House of Paper is a tribute to the strange and passionate
relationship between people and their books.
