"Awarded the Alejo Carpentier Award in 2012, The Last Librarian follows the journey of a writer who has decided, as a way of honoring the artists who have meant the most to him, to visit and deposit a single book within each of the Seven Libraries of the World. Morales's novel is a profound meditation on the origins and meaning of writing, time, and the act of artistic creation"-- Provided by publisher.
