Joshua Cohen

keeps a genizah as a part of his website.

A new story goes up each week, and so I'm not sure how much longer "Bibliothanatos, or epigraphs for a last book" will be there. Since it might not be long, you should hurry.*

Here's the first sentence:

Once, in the future, a man wanted to keep a secret safe from everyone. He wrote it down into a book.

*Although...if it's gone, something brilliant will certainly be in its spot.

Great post! I'm glad you've discovered my new favorite writer. You should read his novels, Cadenza and A Heaven of Others, and I've just read the new one, Witz, in galleys, and it's an old-fashioned massive ambitious novel the likes of which we hardly ever see anymore, and his best work yet.
