Bibliophobia by Sarah Chihaya
On the Fear of Books
Bibliophobia is a memoir in which Sarah Chihaya examines her intense, sometimes fraught relationship with books — the “Life Ruiners” that have shaped her sense of self as a Japanese American and a literary critic. After a hospitalization for a nervous breakdown, she reflects on whether the stories that governed her life can be rewritten, using readings of works like The Bluest Eye, Anne of Green Gables, and The Last Samurai to explore cultural identity, depression, and recovery with candor and dark humor.
