I also wanted to have you read it immediately to see if it was a completely different book for you. I wanted to go back and re-read it immediately to see if it changed. Yesterday, though, Ruth Ozeki took me beyond that magic to make me feel as though A Tale for the Time Being was not only written for me, but was being written for me as I read it.
This conversation and co-creation between writer and reader feels like magic when we allow ourselves to surrender to it. A writer pours all of the details and plot that they can into a work and then the reader comes along and makes it their own by keying into the things that matter to them and ignoring the things that don’t. The idea that a book is brought to life by its reader is not new.
