There are the visible, material libraries, made up of shelves and books that can be physically moved around. And then there are the invisible or immaterial libraries. Invisible libraries can be so for several reasons: because they are mental, because they are hidden, because they are lost, because they do not yet exist. Yet these invisible structures are not the least prevalent or the least extensive: there are more forgotten or lost books than remembered. Can we reconstitute these works that have disappeared or never seen the light of day? Can we conceive of other libraries, other shelves, other lists or canons, which would include other texts we don't know about, lost, forgotten, neglected? Or, to put it another way, is there room for another kind of literature?
