About This Quote

The way that an author’s gaze glosses over a stack of wooden crates and lands on a steamer trunk covered with stickers from all over the world is almost like a game he’s playing. The action of moving your eyes in this way is like a game. The way you move your eyes while reading an unknown book is like trying to find something that is hidden.
