Nothing astounding, but everything beautiful.

— Jonathan Buckley, One Boat: A Novel (W.W. Norton & Company, November 4, 2025)

As I’m falling asleep, an idea presents itself of people preserved on a page, lustreless, like pallid specimens in formaldehyde. The idea expires a moment later. Words do not preserve the person; they are not held in a colourless medium of language. Another image arises; an object calcifying in a stream of mineral rich water; a bottle becoming encased in stone. In the stream of memory and retelling, the reality of the past is transfigured. The image of the bottle does not satisfy. Better, perhaps, to think of the restoration of a building. Bit by bit, the old fabric is replenished. Stonework is renewed, damaged glass repaired, carvings are recut, rotten timber replaced. In time, little of the original remains; it become impossible to tell what is new and what is old. This each recollection of a moment, of a conversation, reinforces some part of what is being remembered, and in the process of reinforcement, something is replaced. With each retelling the past becomes more solid and less true.

"The pleasure of reading together—of being solitary together. It was like acting, in a way, she said: we become someone else when we read, and each book changes us, for a while, even if only for as long as we are reading it."
