Retomando donde quedó el ampliamente elogiado Bookshops: A Reader's History, Against Amazon and Other Essays explora las crecientes presiones de Amazon y otras nuevas tecnologías sobre librerías y bibliotecas. En ensayos sobre estos vitales espacios sociales, culturales e intelectuales, Jorge Carrión viaja de Londres a Ginebra, de la Pequeña Habana de Miami a Argentina, de su querida biblioteca infantil a los estantes de palisandro del Nautilus de Julio Verne y los espacios innovadores que caracterizan El renacimiento de las librerías de Corea del Sur. Incluyendo entrevistas con escritores y bibliotecarios, incluidos Alberto Manguel, Iain Sinclair, Luigi Amara y Han Kang, entre otros, Against Amazon es a partes iguales una celebración de libros y librerías, una autobiografía de un lector, un cuaderno de viaje, una carta de amor.

In essays on these vital social, cultural, and intellectual spaces, Jorge Carrión travels from London to Geneva, from Miami's Little Havana to Argentina, from his own well-loved childhood library to the rosewood shelves of Jules Verne's Nautilus and the innovative spaces that characterize South Korea's bookshop renaissance. Including interviews with writers and librariansincluding Alberto Manguel, Iain Sinclair, Luigi Amara, and Han Kang, among othersAgainst Amazon is equal parts a celebration of books and bookshops, an autobiography of a reader, a travelogue, a love letter.
