A collection of my diaries, which I’ve been keeping daily for five years. In 2022, I began going through the handwritten drivel and compiling the least drivel-y entries. The results became this book, which I designed and bound.

Since the library was a place I spent much time in, and these journals reflect the influence its books had on me, especially on my writing, The World Back has no jacket. An academic navy cloth encloses its pages, just like the volumes on library shelves.
