The librarian taps a few keys on the keyboard, and then looks down and about a foot to my right. "If it's called The Mongoliad, it must be an ancient tale about the Mongols, like The Iliad," he says in his slightly stilted, almost affectless voice.
"That's exactly right," I say, smiling.
He stands up stiffly, still not looking directly at me, and says, "Maybe I can help you find it."
