“I had never heard of this great-aunt. Sometimes I think my grandmother makes them up, invents new role models for me according to her whim of the moment. I like this habit. It’s nice having an extendable family, imaginatively fluid; fixed relatives can be such a pain.”

“These memories, so clear, came as a shock. Since his death, I had hardly thought about him. He went, ceased to be so completely, leaving only a sort of emptiness.
But he was real, my brother. He was real, he was a part of my life, I loved him, he died. So simple, so difficult still to accept.”
― Saints and Adventurers
