505 1 _avolume 1. A short biography of the banished book
520 _aThis is not meant to be an exhaustive book. For one, that was not my aim, though in all honesty I would be hard-pressed to claim a clearly delineated aim at the outset. For another, it is part of a larger decade-long project, formally initiated in 2013, though perhaps gestating ever since my mother first read to me in utero, from books now lost. This book is the first in a series of five, and as such holds the undiluted joy of loving books, and the furious anger and sorrow at their destruction. A quasi-documentary film,again in five parts, and drawings of aless structured quality accompany this book. Also a chunk of this book is only available online, and when it vanishes this book will be further diminished. So what you hold in your hands is a fraction of the project, but worse, it shrinks in relation to the field. It is barely a sliver of a fraction, as all books invariably are, especially books that wrestle with impoverished historical record. -- Preface.
