Scott, "human beings—all of us—are both different and the same (we are made up of both human differences and human “samenesses”); that, when we encounter one another, we are (for very natural reasons) drawn to and mesmerized by the human differences we see in “other” (including some that we share)" I find this an interesting--and different--take on the theme of my memoir Us and Them, which is about learning to deal with people's differences as a child and adult. Thanks for this new insight and for inspiring me about your 30-year journey to publish your first novel. I'm dealing with frustration after "only" 4 years.
