"It takes two to make a thing go right. With famous books, the first time is already the second since we approach them already knowing them. The cautious common saying of “re-reading” classics turns out to be an innocent veracity. We are always somehow re-reading a classic because we have encountered some previous incarnation of it. A refraction - in other stories, texts, or versions. What are the many versions if not diverse perspectives of a moveable event if not a long experimental assortment of emissions and emphasizes? Just about everything has been photo-shopped. Precisely it is about what 5 people think that this reality consists of. How an incident happens reflects nothing about the incident itself but it must reflect something about the person involved in the happening and supplying the how. 5 people interpret an action and each interpretation is different because in the telling and in the retelling the people reveal not the action but themselves."
