Codrescu, Andrei. Casanova in Bohemia (New York: Free Press, c2002) 321 p.
The aged Giacomo Casanova, Chevalier de Seingalt, retired to Dux Castle in Bohemia. Here under the patronage of Count Waldstein, he took the position of Librarian. Apart from reading and providing reading material for fellow servants we do not see Casanova's library work. Instead he enjoys life, as is his wont, philosophizes, and writes his memoirs.
