About the book

'As a writer I continuously attempt to make inroads on the vast terrian of what cannot be said - or said by me, at least. I seem to know by intuition a great deal that I cannot find words for.The frontiers of the unsayable have been opened for me by every book I have ever read that was in any degree ambitios, earnest or imaginative, by every good teacher I have had; by music and apinting;by conversation that was in any way interesting, even conversation overheard as it passed between strangers.'
