Notes
-
Dedication: For my grandmothers, Leah and Magda. They don't make them like that anymore.
-
Epigraph: It is not necessary that you leave the house.
Remain at your table and listen.
Do not even listen, only wait.
Do not even wait, be wholly still and alone.
The world will present itself to you for its
unmasking, it has no choice, in ecstasy it will
writhe at your feet. - Franz Kafka
