Title
Twice Upon a Time There Was A Boy Who Died
Subtitle
La Memoria Infinita
Title (generic)
Book
Accession No.

The book appears to explore themes of memory, youth, and loss. Channeling the conflict between street life and safe spaces, the author tackles the question, "What does it mean to be a man?" in a hostile and gentrified world.

The inside cover is signed: "Whoever reads this in the future, let all the typos and mispunctuations of this 1st edition be proof it was written w/human hands. I can only imagine how robotic your future will be. Be human and create!

There are two additional copies of this book in the library.

Tenement Echoes
Title (generic)
Book
Accession No.

Tenement Echoes is a work of fiction (or perhaps historical fiction) that explores life in early 20th-century textile mill towns. It centers on immigrant families living in tenements—struggling with minimal wages and tough living conditions. The narrative also addresses the added hardships brought by World War II. Themes include daily struggles, family life, loss, joy, and the complex social fabric of communities affected by war and immigration.
