THREE LIVES is an anachronism.
It is the shop around the corner.
A touchstone in a neighborhood.
A place with a human face and a cast of characters.
84 Charing Cross Road colored by the time and place.
A haven for people who read.
"One of the greatest bookstores on the face of the Earth. Every single person who works there is incredibly knowledgeable and well read and full of soul. You can walk in and ask anybody, really, what they've read lately and they'll tell you something - very likely something you've never heard of. [But] it's always going to be something interesting and fabulous. I go there when I'm feeling depressed and discouraged, and I always feel rejuvenated".- Michael Cunningham.
Como é possível eu ainda não conhecer esta livraria, esse "santuário", e para Michael Cunningham, como descreve nos agradecimentos do livro "As horas", o centro do universo civilizado. Daqui a umas horas vou conhecer. E só podia ser onde?! West Village!!
