An Apology and a Long Thank You

In other words, authors writing books can be quite annoying. So, I want to apologise to those people this particular author-book annoyed and thank them for their patience and for the many long conversations they gifted me with. Because books are collective endeavours, they are summaries of long conversations, of books read, of music, of life experiences, surprises, frustrations, hopes, and imaginaries. When I found myself at the end of the process of writing, I become acutely aware of all those moments, people, places, books, and feelings. I was able to see how they had taken me to the point of writing, how they had inspired me to say something, how they had helped me to do it in the best way I could, and how they had accompanied me along
