“High school was followed by college, where I read Umberto Eco’s
Role of the Reader, in which it is said that the reader completes
the text, that the text is never finished until it meets this voracious
and engaged reader… Nietzsche says, ‘Supposing truth is a woman –
what then?’ Supposing the truth is not hard, fast, masculine, simple,
direct? You could spend a lifetime thinking about this sentence, and
making it your own.”
– Rick Moody
The Joy and Enthusiasm of Reading
from This I Believe, p. 160-161
