“I’m searching for shards, fragments, scraps—everything that can resurrect the soul and the body. Thousands of people live within me. Some have long been gone. And inside me they continue to sing, laugh, search for adventures at their own expense, celebrate New Year, and dance the Charleston at the table. From a tiny seed of chance, a sprawling tree of stories grows—reality intertwines with fiction; everything begins to swirl, shimmer, and turn into a myth.”
