The Allure of the Text (in Best European Fiction 2010, ed. by Aleksandar Hemon, Dalkey Archive Press 2010) presents us with metafiction, which contains stories within stories highlighting the interplay between text and reality as well as offering flesh-and-blood characters caught up in a layered narrative.
British Library, Conference Centre
The British Library is, as national libraries go, relatively young. Its roots lie in the report of the National Libraries Committee issued in 1969. This was followed by a White Paper recommending the setting up of a national library for the UK ('the British Library'). In 1972 The British Library Act was passed by Parliament, bringing the Library into operation with effect from 1 July 1973.
