EVA JURCZYK is a writer and librarian living in Toronto. She has written for Jezebel, The Awl, The Rumpus, and Publishers Weekly. This is her first novel.
""Written for book lovers who will no doubt dive in and devour it.
It's a literary read benefitting its theme...a keeper that could
easily end up in someone's private collection."" - New York Journal
of Books
"With its countless revelations about the dusty realm of rare
books, a likable librarian sleuth who has just the right balance of
compassion and wit, and a library setting that is teeming with
secrets, The Department of Rare Books and Special Collections is a
rare treat for readers. I loved this book!" - Matthew Sullivan,
author of Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore
"This intricately woven literary mystery brings readers into the
cut-throat world of academia where rare book collections compete
for money and prestige, and where those in power will do whatever
it takes to protect their institution. A strong female protagonist
and complex relationships drive this impressive, genre-bending
debut." - Wendy Walker, international bestselling author of Don't
Look for Me
"Who doesn't love a mystery involving rare books and bad
librarians? This clever, deftly written story has all that and
more. A great pleasure from beginning to end." - Karen Joy Fowler,
New York Times bestselling author
