Literature allows us to cross the borders – as imaginary as they are indispensable – which circumscribe and define our selves. Reading, we allow other people to enter us – and if we make room for them so willingly, it’s because we know them already. The novel celebrates our miraculous capacity to recognize others in ourselves, and ourselves in others.
