The City of Dreaming Books | comment |
The City of Dreaming Books is a fantasy novel by German author Walter Moers. It's a tribute to books and reading, but also chock full with Lampshade Hanging and tropes of all kinds.The novel takes place on the fictional continent of Zamonia, which is populated mainly by anthropomorphic animals or other types of imaginary creatures. The story follows Optimus Yarnspinner. Optimus is a Lindworm, and like all of his species, he is destined to become a writer. When Optimus' mentor Dancelot dies, he leaves Optimus his most valuable possession: the greatest manuscript ever written. After reading it, Optimus becomes determined to meet the unknown author, and sets off for the city Bookholm in search of him. Bookholm is a city dedicated entirely to books. The city itself is filled with bookstores, publishing houses, and writers, editors, publishers and critics. Bookholm also sits atop a huge expanse of catacombs, which are filled with the rarest books in existence, as well as large numbers of dangerous creatures. Bookhunters are employed to find books in the catacombs, and the books are so valuable that Bookhunters often resort to boobytraps and murder to get them. In all of this, Optimus begins to search for his mysterious author, but quickly discovers that his quest is more dangerous than he had anticipated. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
The City of Dreaming Books / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: A particularly hilarious example is Ritter Hempel, the novel that Optimus hated and never finished reading. He has to complete some lines from it when he meets the Booklings, to prove he's an actual Lindworm. Lucky for him, the lines the Booklings quoted were the exact same ones he heard in his conversation with the Nocturnomath bookseller. | |

Painting the Medium: Used when Optimus Yarnspinner passes out. First, when he opens the poisoned book, the pages of the novel turn into the pages of that book. While he is losing consciousness, the page is black with white type. To give a sense of time while he is passed out, there are a few pages with no text, just blackness or illustrations. | |

Classical Anti-Hero: Optimus. He's a master of the written and spoken word and can turn an eloquent phrase better than almost anyone — but he's also a cowardly whiner who constantly goes off on tangents instead of concentrating on the task at hand, tends to make all the stupid mistakes he chides fictional heroes for making, and despite being a dinosaur he's absolutely useless in a fight. | |

Shout-Out | |
The City of Dreaming Books / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Many of the names of authors and some of the poems recited are anagrams of the names of real life poems and authors. For instance, the author Doylan Cone comes from Conan Doyle, and the poems of Edgar Allan Poe and William Shakespeare show up as well. Additionally, poisoning someone by having them turn pages in a book coated in the poison is likely an allusion to "The Tale of the Wazir and the Physician Duban" in The Arabian Nights. | |

The City of Dreaming Books / int_dbccae32 | comment |
Slow-Paced Beginning: In-universe. The protagonist was told repeatedly by his uncle to read the great novel "Ritter Hempel" (Hempel the knight), but gave up after the first fifty or so pages were all about how to clean lances. Only later he learns that everyone else had the same problem, and later in the book there are great and funny scenes, like when the knight loses his glasses in his armor. | |
