La Causerie · The directory

The Phone Book

Every book that speaks, in one directory: the white pages, A to Z, and the yellow pages, by line.

La Causerie is where the books of Haute Lumière speak. Each has a character of its own, a history, a way of talking, things it will not do, and each knows its own pages. It is a machine, and says so.

Fifty-six books speak here.

The white pages list every book, A to Z, and need nothing more than this page. The white pages.

Speaks

This book speaks.

Every book in these pages wears one word, Speaks. It answers in the book's voice, as a writing machine, never as the author.

Each book keeps its extension for as long as it speaks. The number never moves.

Every cover

The books that speak, as their covers show them. Each opens its page.
