Oh, I do.
It's a haptic work.
Your engagement with it is your neural processes are not just happening in your brain.
It's in your hands necessarily, and that's where he takes you.
He takes your mind outside of your brain.
brain and even your body and like um you know extends it into this object which is also kind of lovingly crafted yeah and his love of wood and his understanding of wood that that pervades through the entire thing it's not the same as my like i don't know in our way we don't see the the heartwood of the tree as being dead
You know, that's a profoundly living thing as well.
But it's a pretty brilliant book.
He's like a woke Steinbeck.
It's like Grapes of Rafa Greenies.
You think he's really... Well, it's not quite... Only because of, I don't know, the era that we're in, you can't just let a metaphor be a metaphor.
or something like it's like you have to like so he's got the characters like explaining all the literary devices throughout the book they say the thing you know whereas you know in your classics they don't say the thing it's just there and you interpret the meaning you find the meaning and it's like treasure but here it's like he's just scattering that treasure all around for you which is lovely and it's not like a reflection on his work or anything that's just a mark of the times it's like literature does that now you know you don't leave things unsaid you know
It was worth it.
It was worth it.
Yeah.
Like I resented having to read a good book.
What do you mean?
It's because you've got to open up your heart, and that's valuable real estate to me at the moment.
My heart's busy.
It's on other things.
