Library of the Blind is a Borgesian infinite library in the shape of a Piranesi prison. It’s intended to represent a sort of memory of the world for amnesiacs. Information proliferates, but is impossible to find in the labyrinth of dark shelves. Or books are misunderstood, forgotten or wilfully destroyed. On one side is the Witch of Endor, the medium King Saul asked to summon the spirit of Samuel, while the other side shows the ghost of Old Hamlet. Saul hopes for good news but has his own death foretold. And young Hamlet, even before meeting his father's ghost, obviously wants an excuse to wage his vendetta on Claudius. The books in the Library of the Blind also act as communiques from the dead, and there too, the reader either finds exactly what they want to find, irrelevant of what is written, or they discover truths too uncomfortable to bear.
