Notes

Description
"You are looking at the book Ex Libris by Matt Madden. Maybe you came looking for it; perhaps you just came across it in a bookstore or at someone's house. Or maybe you are reading this in a catalog on a screen. What kind of adventure do you think takes place on these pages? To judge by the cover design and the title, it appears books themselves are a subject of this volume. Does it have a comic book as its hero? If you put the book down now, you'll never find out. Imaginary, hypothetical versions of the story will doubtless branch off endlessly into some corner of your mind. If you want to find out what happens in Ex Libris, you'll need to open the book and read the first page. But be careful: you just might get sucked in! Oh? You're still reading the back cover copy? Very well, maybe you'd prefer this kind of thing: With a dizzying array in inventive visual and narrative styles, Ex Libris continues the line of exploration and play that Madden initiated with 99 Ways to Tell a Story: Exercises in Style. Ex Libris is a tribute to the metafictional tradition of writers like Jorge Luis Borges, Julio Cortázar, Vladimir Nabokov, and Italo Calvino (whose novel, If on a Winter's NIght a Traveler, was its initial inspiration)."-- cover page 4.
