2018 Grolier Club Exhibition "A Conversation Larger than the Universe"

From 25 January through 10 March 2018, the Grolier Club in New York City hosted an exhibition: “A Conversation Larger Than the Universe”: Science Fiction and the Literature of the Fantastic from the Collection of Henry Wessells. Those unable to visit the exhibition (like myself) were able instead to view and read the similarly-titled book published in association with the exhibition, A Conversation larger than the Universe: Readings in Science Fiction and the Fantastic (The Grolier Club, 2018), by Henry Wessells and with a Foreword by John Crowley.  Not only is the book illustrated with a goodly number of items that were exhibited, but it is also full of a book-length text of Wessells writing about the books he has collected.  

Now comes a new variation: on online exhibit, which includes nearly all of the books and items that were on view (with the exhibition labels), plus more illustrations than could be displayed, or could be included in the published book. It is hosted at Wessells's own Temporary Culture website, and you can check it out here.  

The book and the web exhibition nicely make up for not seeing the original exhibition. Well, almost.
