American novelist, journalist, editor, and lecturer Allen Kurzweil is the author of two award-winning children's books and multiple works of fiction, of which this volume is undoubtedly his most well-known. Finalist for the Prix Médicis and the Irish Times/Aer Lingus International Fiction Prize, and winner of the Premio Grinzane Cavour in 1993, 'A Case of Curiosities' is an incredibly brilliant historical fiction with ambitious characters and an understanding of book collectors that shines beyond its covers.
