Quote of the Day | 1128
Auster reminds us that each of us looks at existence through story-colored lenses. The world we inhabit is literally shaped by Story. We all have our “life stories,” and these govern how we see ourselves and others, how we interpret events and memories and expectations. When our saviors and teachers speak to us about the greatest truths, whether of religion or philosophy, they always speak to us in parables. When artists, or ordinary people, talk about what truly matters, they start and end by telling stories, wonderful, amazing stories—like those in the works of Paul Auster.
Michael Dirda, ‘Spellbound’
I don’t necessarily share Dirda’s opinion on the work of Paul Auster. Still, his quote above showed enough parallels to my own reflections on story and plot, to note it.

Ik had alle vorige afleveringen opgenomen maar kwam er nooit toe die te bekijken. Zal ik met deze dan even weer doen. Dank.

En in ‘Iets met boeken’ ging het er ook net over.
