Chain bookstores might prefer to herd shoppers into categories under fluorescent lights, but writers and readers have a way of wandering around in the dusk, curious, appetitive, mutable. From that wandering, new forms and new ways of seeing emerge. We look through the eyes of the other not via identity - this is what it's like to be you - but via a way of making narrative - this is what it's like to tell a story, to frame the world, the way you do - and suddenly we are able to apprehend the world anew.
