ABOUT MA BIBLIOTHÈQUE

MA BIBLIOTHÈQUE is a not-for-profit project by the artist and writer Sharon Kivland. The publications are modest yet attractive, and constitute her library, based on her purchase of a hundred ISBN numbers. In her role as The Editor, she invites authors she considers to be good readers, whom she would like to house in her library or to become her library, inhabited. She agrees with Nabokov that a good reader, a major reader, an active and creative reader, is a re-reader. She knows her writers and they know her, even when they have not yet met. They have read each other, or believe themselves to have done so. They are flirtatious, ruffling pages. She promises to do her best. The best is reading.
