I went searching for books yesterday and ended up buying Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf. I also found a copy of Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer, which I have been searching for for a long time, but they only...

Writing: I’m giving you what I’ve held in my heart and my head for as long as I can remember. I’m trying to show you the worlds that have seeded themselves there just because that’s the best way my brain works and from the other books that I’ve read that have kept me company all my life. I’m…
