• Me había sorprendido y decepcionado descubrir que los libros de cuentos habían sido escritos por personas, que los libros no eran maravillas naturales que surgían por sí solas como la hierba. Sin embargo, independientemente de su procedencia, no recuerdo ningún momento en el que no estuviera enamorado de ellos: de los libros en sí, de la cubierta, de la encuadernación y del papel en el que estaban impresos, de su olor y su peso, y de su posesión en mis brazos, capturados y llevados para mí. Aún analfabeta, estaba preparada para ellos, entregada a toda la lectura que pudiera darles.
