I was lucky enough to receive The Doll's House, volume 2 of Neil Gaiman's Sandman comics, for Christmas. Yippee!
Mr. G begins the volume with the following paragraphs:
"In the beginning...
"But of course we never see the beginning. We come in the middle, after the lights have gone down, and try to make sense of the story so far. Whisper to our neighbours 'Who's he? Who's she? Have they met each other before?'
"We get by."
What an insightful reflection on stories, fictitious and non-fictitious alike.
