“But you were also withdrawn, remote, shy. But you were also full of joy. But you were also sensitive, perceptive. But you were also strong. But you were also enquiring. But you were also deeply rooted.”

“...the point, the essential quality of the act of reading, now and always, is that it tends to no foreseeable end, to no conclusion.

In this way, the story grows, layer after layer, like the skin of the society whose history this act preserves.”
