Michael Chabon Quotes

It Was On The Steamer Carrying Him Through The Golden Gate That He Happened To Reach Down Into The Hole In The Lining Of The Right Pocket Of His Overcoat And Discover The Envelope That His Brother Had Solemnly Handed To Him Almost A Month Before. It Contained A Single Piece Of Paper, Which Thomas Had Hastily Stuffed Into It That Morning As They All Were Leaving The House Together For The Last Time, By Way Or In Lieu Of Expressing The Feelings Of Love, Fear, And Hopefulness That His Brother's Escape Inspired. It Was The Drawing Of Harry Houdini, Taking A Calm Cup Of Tea In The Middle Of The Sky, That Thimas Had Made In His Notebook During His Abortive Career As A Librettist. Josef Studied It, Feeling As He Sailed Toward Freedom As If He Weighed Nothing At All, As If Every Precious Burden Had Been Lifted From Him.
