La quatrième de couverture indique : " Quand les livres ont-ils été inventés ? Comment ont-ils traversé les siècles pour se frayer une place dans nos librairies, nos bibliothèques, sur nos étagères ? Irene Vallejo nous convie à un long voyage, des champs de bataille d’Alexandre le Grand à la Villa des Papyrus après l’éruption du Vésuve, des palais de la sulfureuse Cléopâtre au supplice de la philosophe Hypatie, des camps de concentration à la bibliothèque de Sarajevo en pleine guerre des Balkans, mais aussi dans les somptueuses collections de manuscrits enluminés d’Oxford et dans le trésor des mots où les poètes de toutes les nations se trouvent réunis. Grâce à son formidable talent de conteuse, Irene Vallejo nous fait découvrir cette route parsemée d’inventions révolutionnaires et de tragédies dont les livres sont toujours ressortis plus forts et plus pérennes. L’Infini dans un roseau est une ode à cet immense pouvoir des livres et à tous ceux qui, depuis des générations, en sont conscients et permettent la transmission du savoir et des récits. Conteurs, scribes, enlumineurs, traducteurs, vendeurs ambulants, moines, espions, rebelles, aventuriers, lecteurs ! Autant de personnes dont l’histoire a rarement gardé la trace mais qui sont les véritables sauveurs de livres, les vrais héros de cette aventure millénaire".

American Women’s Regionalist Fiction: Mapping the Gothic seeks to redress the monolithic view of a national American Gothic, instead considering specific regions in the U.S. and how they express their own particular versions of the Gothic. Focusing on American women writers whose views of hauntings are ultimately connected to their image of an internal and ofttimes oppressive domestic landscape, these essays consider the ways the outdoor landscape feeds their fantasy and contributes to their notion of a natural history and local mythology that coincides with their sense of a world beyond the confines of the home. The clash between these two realms often paves the way for the Gothic encounter. Ultimately, these essays reveal the impact of the regional Gothic in considering how collision between the local and the national precipitates a conflict that leads to the Gothic protagonist’s sense of belonging or alienation.
