Click above to visit an independent bookshop whose platform for selling books online is itself a welcome distraction. Below, the owner of that shop (a character worth searching a bit about) writes a review that is also worth a few minutes. Oddly enough, I could not find, or figure out how to find, this book on his bookshop's website.
But nevermind that, we have linked to the publisher's blurb on the book to the left:
Once Upon a Prime review – why maths and literature make a winning formula
Prof Sarah Hart's exuberant study of the enduring conversation between mathematics and literature is fascinating
The universe (which others call the Library) is composed of an indefinite, perhaps infinite number of hexagonal galleries." That's how Jorge Luis Borges starts The Library of Babel, beloved by maths geeks and book nerds alike for the way it toys with the mathematical concept of infinity.
