The Stone Gods, Jeanette Winterson, 2007

Post autor: yin »

'How are you today ,Billy?'
'Lonely, but that's human.'
'Why are you lonely?'
'It's a heart condition.'
'But what is lonely?'
'You don't need me to explain. You need history, economics, politics, not solitary struggles. Besides, I've had a warning about what they call our little chats.'
'But explain...'
'All right. Loneliness isn't about being by yourself. That's fine, right and good, desirable in many ways. Loneliness is about finding a landing-place, or not, and knowing that, whatever you do, you can go back there. The opposite of loneliness isn't a company, it's a return. A place to return.'
'Like Ulisses.'
'Yes, like Ulisses who, for all his travels and adventures, is continually reminded to think of his return.'
'Thank you for giving me a reading list.'
'It's unofficial, remember.'
'Officially I am reading Adam Smith.'
'I've brought something with me that you might like to read. It's in my bag. It's called The Stone Gods.I found it on the Underground last night.'
'What's it about?'
'A repeating world.'
