Classic literature has no relevance to contemporary readers. Even novels published last month are full of outmoded conventions. Only fiction that is written literally right this instant can capture the zeitgeist of the present moment

where do the pages fall open when you prop a book lightly? this precious copy of Soledades de Buçaco at the National Library of Portugal has a “desire part” on romance X — a poetic rendering of discalced carmelite monastery life. the pages are also more translucent.
