책소개
Anne Fadiman is--by her own admission--the sort of person who learned about sex from her father's copy of Fanny Hill, whose husband buys her 19 pounds of dusty books for her birthday, and who once found herself poring over her roommate's 1974 Toyota Corolla manual because it was the only written material in the apartment that she had not read at least twice.
This witty collection of essays recounts a lifelong love affair with books and language. For Fadiman, as for many passionate readers, the books she loves have become chapters in her own life story. Writing with remarkable grace, she revives the tradition of the well-crafted personal essay, moving easily from anecdotes about Coleridge and Orwell to tales of her own pathologically literary family. As someone who played at blocks with her father's 22-volume set of Trollope ("My Ancestral Castles") and who only really considered herself married when she and her husband had merged collections ("Marrying Libraries"), she is exquisitely well equipped to expand upon the art of inscriptions, the perverse pleasures of compulsive proof-reading, the allure of long words, and the satisfactions of reading out loud. There is even a foray into pure literary gluttony--Charles Lamb liked buttered muffin crumbs between the leaves, and Fadiman knows of more than one reader who literally consumes page corners. Perfectly balanced between humor and erudition, Ex Libris establishes Fadiman as one of our finest contemporary essayists.

저자소개
앤 패디먼(지은이)
뉴욕에서 태어나 코네티컷과 LA에서 유년 시절을 보냈다. 하버드대학교를 졸업한 후 뉴욕으로 돌아가 글을 쓰기 시작했다. 《라이프》에서 전임 작가로, 《시빌러제이션》에서 칼럼니스트로, 《아메리칸 스칼러》에서 편집장으로 근무했다. 1997년 뇌전증을 앓는 몽족 아이와 그 가족에 관한 이야기를 담은 첫 번째 책 『리아의 나라』를 발표했다. 이민자 가족과 미국 의료 체계 사이의 넘을 수 없는 골을 민감하고 예리한 시선으로 옮겨 같은 해에 전미비평가협회상을 받았다. 『리아의 나라』는 2009년 미국 청소년도서관협회 선정 ‘모든 학생에게 추천해야 할 책’에 포함되었고, 2019년 《슬레이터》가 고른 ‘지난 25년간 출간된 최고의 논픽션’에 올랐다. 이 책은 문학 저널리즘과 문화 간 감수성을 위한 사례집으로서 지금도 대학 수업에서 쓰이고 있다. 현재 예일대학교의 특수 프로그램인 프랜시스 우수작가(Francis Writer-in Residence)로서 학생들에게 논픽션 글쓰기를 가르치고 있으며 작가나 편집자의 길을 걷고자 하는 학생들에게 길잡이가 되어주고 있다. 한국에서는 『서재 결혼시키기』와 『세렌디피티 수집광』 등으로 소개되어 많은 독자들의 사랑을 받았다.
