And he picked up a guitar that I hadn't seen in the corner of the room.
And with his little left hand, he's making chords that, like, D chords.
It's like I'm watching him this far away, playing along in this unbelievably...
mysterious moment it's so strange that those two things happen at those two times and and you know those things are where you find them do aren't they just like you know if you find yourself in that room doing that maybe they maybe those things happen there all the time maybe they show up you know
Sure.
I think the book I would give as a gift is one of the books I've got on my list today.
of influences for this and it's a children's book by John Birmingham called Heartquin it's about it's called Heartquin and then the fox who went down to the valley and Heartquin is the member of a set of foxes who can't be controlled he won't do what anyone tells him to do and he's told not to go down to the valley because it's dangerous and at night he can't help it
And he goes down to the valley and as such he alerts the hunt and he draws the hunt on the family and he puts the family in danger.
And without spoiling it, he has to get them out of it.
that book i read it first when i was i was read to me i remember it being read to me when i was too young to read and i've read it to my four daughters uh so many times i i know every time i read it i get the goosebumps i get the chills you're talking about uh more readily than i do with anything else that i read so i would give that whether it was someone who was three or or 93
I found this one really difficult because I find it hard to separate the character out from what the drama is doing.
So it's like, it's as if there, and it might be because I'm a writer, the characters that I write only exist, they don't exist outside of the things they say.
Right.
It's like a colour in a painting going like, what's your favourite colour?
You know, and I don't, so I don't really...
I'm not sure I have one, but if I had to choose one, I think my favorite literary character is J. Alfred Prufrock from the poem, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, T.S.
Eliot.
It's one of his very, very early poems, and it's written by a man who can glimpse the divine, can glimpse the numinous,
but can't live there.
He can't get there.
