Underneath the Lintel
Underneath the Lintel
By Glen Berger
On an inauspicious morning at a Dutch library, a librarian makes an unexpected find in the overnight return box - a weather-beaten Baedeker guidebook 123 years overdue. Determined to track down the borrower and give him “the fine of his life,” the librarian studies the book for clues on the miscreant and follows the leads on a globe-trottingjourney that takes him from London to China, from Australia to New York. Throughout his trek, he unlocks ancient mysteries and discovers insteresting truths about himself. Funny, touching, and surprising, this compelling adventure by Glen Berger is storytelling at its best.
