Books by David Samuel Allen
A Borgesian novel about a mathematician who discovers an impossible library containing the complete record of his life — past and future alike. As the library's logic begins to intrude on the world beyond its walls, an intellectual puzzle slowly becomes a personal and moral reckoning about free will and determinism. Blending mathematics, art theory, and philosophical fiction, it is a reflective novel about the fragile space between knowing and living. First published in 2026 by Locrian Books, the fiction imprint of F-flat Books. Kirkus Reviews (Indie verdict: GET IT) called it "a beguiling tale of people trying to edit their lives into better versions of themselves."
