Every reader finds himself. The writer's work is merely a kind of optical instrument that makes it possible for the reader to discern what without this book he would perhaps never have seen in himself.

Baseball is a game where a curve is an optical illusion a screwball can be a pitch or a person stealing is legal and you can spit anywhere you like except in the umpire's eye or on the ball.

You had to be aware that I saw that photography was a mere episode in the history of the optical projection and when the chemicals ended meaning the picture was fixed by chemicals we were in a new era.
