Yann Martel

So it's interwoven.

It's more than just Alzheimer's too.

It's this idea that life is not an orderly affair like a novel would have you think.

So it's all these chapters you can read in any order.

And one of the anchoring points is this idea of a woman, an old woman who is losing her mind

But there's other things.

And as I said, it's the very lack of order that is its strength.

Because you'll get it in a different way.

So I don't know what the permutations are of 52, but they're astronomical.

So you can read it in any number of ways.

The essential elements are the same, but you receive them in a different order.

So it'll be called the forgiven and the forgotten.

And I mention every time because it's going to force my publishers to publish it.

I would like a book published in a box.

They don't know about it yet.

Thank you very much.

Thank you, Claire.

Thank you very much.
