Audrey Niffenegger, the New York Times bestselling author of The Time Traveler’s Wife and Her Fearful Symmetry, has crafted her first graphic novel after the success of her two critically acclaimed “novels-in-pictures.” First serialized as a weekly column in the UK’s Guardian newspaper, The Night Bookmobile tells the story of a wistful woman who one night encounters a mysterious disappearing library on wheels that contains every book she has ever read. Seeing her history and most intimate self in this library, she embarks on a search for the bookmobile. But her search turns into an obsession, as she longs to be reunited with her own collection and memories.
The Night Bookmobile is a haunting tale of both transcendence and the passion for books, and features the evocative full-color pen-and-ink work of one of the world’s most beloved storytellers.

Darker than I expected, and a surprising end. Not a place to look for a happy story, but definitely worth the short read. Think Borges as opposed to your local bookmobile...Product details

The Night Bookmobile Audrey Niffenegger 9780810996175 Books Reviews
Audrey Niffenegger reminds me a lot of Alan Ball (True Blood, Six Feet Under.) Neither one is afraid to explore the darker side of our obsessions with people, places and things. In this fairy tale for adults, Audrey deftly explores our fascination with reading books and creating our own libraries. It is a cautionary tale of obsession and the consequences of getting what you wish for.
I saw myself in this book. I have floor to ceiling book shelves and stacks of books everywhere. I never worked in a library, but I did work in a book store for five years to build up my reading collection. As soon as AMAZON launched I quit the bookstore and began buying books on the internet. And even though I give lots of my books away to libraries, charities, family and friends, I am like Thomas Jefferson - I end up buying ones I have parted with all over again. This grim fairy tale helped me put things into perspective.
This graphic novel was first presented as a short story in Zoetrope and serialized in The Guardian. This is the first book in a proposed trilogy.
love it!
This is kind of an odd review, because I'm not sure that I know what I'm supposed to get out of this story, but I loved it regardless. Probably because I think people who love to read have been trying somehow, their entire lives to keep record of what they read, and how they felt about, regardless if they knew they were doing that or night. So 5 stars, because it's beautifully illustrated, and it's something different and it's haunting and it's not the most uplifting story. You don't read it, and immediately think of sunshine and rainbows and becoming a librarian, but you think...something. Which is just as good, I suppose.
The Night Bookmobile is the year's most exciting book about books. It's that rare, beautiful thing in the graphic genre 40 full colour pen and ink illustrations that explore a bibliophile's (dark) dream. In a long and wide book size of 8 x 11.5 inches are illustrations of colorful bookshelves, a row of books showing titles on spines, a library-room of books, a reader hugging a book close to her, and a universal library right out of a Borges tale.
In an afterword to the book, its author and illustrator, Ms.Niffenegger, says "When I began writing The Night Bookmobile it was a story about a woman's secret life as a reader. As I worked it also became a story about the claims that books place on their readers, the imbalance between our inner and out selves, a cautionary tale of the seductions of the written word. It became a vision of the afterlife as a library..." This, she says, is the first installment of a trilogy to be called `The Library'
Enjoyed the story but was a little hard to follow the illustration panes.
I REALLY LOVE THIS BOOK.
Any booklover should fall in love with this story, and read it to every child they know.
Darker than I expected, and a surprising end. Not a place to look for a happy story, but definitely worth the short read. Think Borges as opposed to your local bookmobile...
