One book calls to another unexpectedly, creating alliances across different
cultures and centuries.. From fire, water, the passage of time, neglectful
readers, and the hand of the censor, each of my books has escaped to tell
me its story.

At one magical instant in your early childhood, the page of a book - that
string of confused, alien ciphers--shivered into meaning. Words spoke to
you, gave up their secrets; at that moment, whole universes opened. You
became, irrevocably, a reader.
