Round 3: Tossup 2

This place is compared to a “mad and hallucinating deity” by people denounced as illustrating “deplorable taste and desperate ignorance.” A work repeatedly listing the letters M, C, and V was found in this place’s circuit (15[1])15-94. In one story, a footnote citing Letizia Álvarez de Toledo (15[1])asserts that this place is “pointless.” (-5[1])Corpses (15[1])are thrown over railings in this place where people search for (*) “vindications.” (10[1])The “purifiers” scramble through this place searching for a “Crimson Hexagon.” Infinite (10[1])hexagonal rooms comprise, for 10 points, what place that contains all possible 410-page books (10[1])in a short story by Jorge Luis Borges? ■END■
