Once while reading Borges I tried to imagine a nonexistent book that was reviewed. Then I recalled a lot of fictional books described in the world literature that had never existed in reality.
For example, ‘The Monster Book of Monsters’ from ‘Harry Potter And The Prisoner of Azkaban’ or ‘Treatise on the Steppenwolf’ from Hesse’s ‘Steppenwolf’.
So I made these imaginary books real.
