The Infinite Library and Other Stories by Jason Erik Lundberg, Victor Fernando R. Ocampo

5.0

A series of inter-connected short stories, ‘The Infinite Library’ grounds its epic journey through time and space in the mysterious library of its title, but layers in themes of love, loss and finding one’s place. With some much going on - genre-blending, a variety of structures, tangents in every direction - it would be easy to lose an overall sense of cohesion. The beauty of this collection is that it juggles all this so well; each individual story feels distinct and interesting in its own right, yet as a whole, there is satisfaction in following the threads that bring it back to the beginning and the key themes. A tricky thing to pull off. It was a challenge to track down a copy of this book (I eventually purchased it from an independent bookstore in Singapore, who had thankfully low international shipping rates), but absolutely worth it.
