Thank you for the interesting article. I love Hilary Mantel’s quote “I am not claiming authority for my version; I am making the reader a proposal, an offer.”
I also sew, and I would have thought the manual task of sewing the bird would make you feel closer to the person who carved the bird in the stone of his prison. Good luck with the eels, though they are amazing creatures.
Such a fascinating interface to think about! Thanks for your usual well-articulated insights, and the beautiful manuscript.
Thank you so much! I couldn’t believe the manuscript - it is stunning.
