A fascinating exhibit titled "Imaginary Books: Lost, Unfinished and Fictive Works Found Only in Other Books" at the Book Club of California showcases a unique collection of over 100 works that never became published. With a focus on the myth of lost novels, like the first, yet to be found, novel by Ernest Hemingway, visitors can explore imagined titles from renowned authors such as Shakespeare and Byron. Although these books cannot be read in the traditional sense, they spark curiosity and inspire thoughts about unfinished narratives and literary legacies, all created by talented artists and bookbinders.
This exhibit conjures real, three-dimensional books based on tomes that never saw the light of day, providing a glimpse into lost literary history.
Featuring over 100 fictive works, the exhibit includes renowned authors like Shakespeare and Byron, alongside lost pubs and unfinished narratives.
