Three paragraphs from the quoted article which resonated with me: If a book or an author kindled my curiosity even slightly, I acquiesced. I would buy a copy on Thriftbooks, open it right when it arrived, and not so much read the book as play with it. I was a hummingbird zipping flower to flower. I had to cooperate with the zigzag, the frantic little heartbeat. It felt manic and diffuse. Now, like a hiker pausing to look down behind him, it looks like a very obvious path. I want to stress how crucial it was for me to work with appetite. A little human curiosity can move mountains. Eventually literature itself began to open up, to impose itself. This was an overwhelming spiritual experience. Individual authors dissipated, replaced by a vast, living heritage. It seemed to me that, across traditions and cultures and time, writers had all been borrowing from this singular source, and everything that had ever intimidated me about reading, the particular genius of singular talents, the thickness of leatherbound tomes, the rigorous demands of dense prose, all evaporated and went away. Some writers would judge me for arriving so late to figures I’ve met only recently. That’s okay. I’m only grateful, eternally grateful, to have arrived at all. Who cares about judgment while holding such a gift? I get emotional about it. I’m spoiled to love reading and to have so much to read. The world is sweeter than it was.
Movie poster for Solaris (1972) by Andrei Tarkovsky. Watercolour: A man carries a woman's body through an abstract space station doorway made from overlapping blue and orange lines, into a black void. In the bottom left of the void, a circular sepia-tone space station sits with various adornments such as long antennas and radio dishes. The title, SOLARIS, is at the bottom of the poster.
