Roxana’s comments from the Ask Charles Yu! group.

Hello Charles,
Let me tell you that it was so difficult to finally purchase your book. It was a recommendation from The Guardian newspaper (the Books section), I immediately felt drawn to the story and also the cover art is funny and catchy. I am from Mexico, so it was hard for me to find it here, thankfully in the USA it was available. It was a journey to find your book but I loved it.
My question to you is regarding those little "tools" you use in the book, like the blank page, that actually broke the reading experience and make the reader part of the story. How did you come up with those kind of ideas? And what was its original purpose? To make us the readers part of the story?
