Red Thread — On Mazes & Labyrinths (2018)

Jonathan Cape (Penguin Random House)
“On the path of my life, in the middle of my life, what do I know about where I have been, and where I might go? Everything in the woods, everything in the ocean, everything in the desert. I can see no shape. I am lost; in the middle of my life I am lost. I cannot find my way through the thicket. I cannot navigate. The path that lies ahead of me is a riddle. But the path that lies behind is indistinct, too; its myriad and confusing turns already half forgotten, the significance of the landmarks encountered along the way misunderstood, misinterpreted.” (page 11-12)¶
