Book 0025

The Fortress of Solitude is a novel whose central theme is the ability of the imagination to set you free, to open up paths to an unknown elsewhere. It particularly appeals to me as it speaks truth about my own journey, and how art and escape were inseparable for me as a child, and as a teenager. My wife bought me this book, knowing what it would mean to me. We decorated, we moved, we stacked a bookshelf, and I read it ten years later. Her judgement, as always, was perfect.
