At the Grolier Club, an imagined copy of Hemingway’s lost novel, created by curator Reid Byers, is part of the exhibition 'Imaginary Books: Lost, Unfinished, and Fictive Works Found Only in Other Books'.
Reid Byers has established a unique display featuring over 100 books that are lost, unfinished or purely invented. He collaborated with bookbinders and artists to create these 'liminal objects'.
Byers reflects on the idea of imaginary books dating back 15 years, emphasizing their importance in literature and how they lead one to explore deeper narratives.
'These books are liminal objects,' Byers explained, 'They put you on the threshold just before you go down the rabbit hole,' suggesting their role in provoking thought.
