Publisher's Synopsis
For generations, the Librarian has served the Library-the surreal centre of all human knowledge and imagination-without complaint or objection, or even the desire to do anything else. He is unable to go. He cannot desire. He has no choice but to wait for visitors-dreamers who have gone to sleep with troubled hearts-who come to the library in search of the solutions that only its keepers can provide. The Librarian responds and recalls the things that leaden his heart and keep him fixed to the Library in this everlasting existence during hazy days and weeks.
Until a particularly tenacious dreamer enters the room through the door, that is. Over and over again.
The issue is whether he is prepared to jeopardise someone else's hopes in exchange for the chance to awaken, even though her questions may hold the secret to the Librarian's liberation.
