40 | I want to talk about this | ||
41 | effect in literature. In literature | ||
42 | the writer writes words on a | ||
43 | substrate (paper) and later the | ||
44 | reader reads the same words off | ||
45 | the substrate. Although the writer | ||
46 | and reader might be very far apart | ||
47 | from each other in time and space, | ||
48 | they experience the same effect | ||
49 | from reading the words. Even the | ||
50 | writer reading his own words after | ||
51 | he has written them becomes a | ||
52 | reader and feels who he was at | ||
53 | that time, like a ghost. | ||
