For forty-three years he told almost nobody.
He was five when he stood in a doorway and something leaned out of a hole in the air and wanted him. He was twenty-eight when the gates finally opened, in the worst stretch of his life, and made it worse for two more years.
Since then he has been inside more than a hundred other lives. A shield-bearer in a wet field, whose whole attention was on the man standing to his left. A girl counting doorways to hold something back. A barber who talked all day, said nothing true, and was perfectly happy. An old woman alone in a house, who noticed him, and was glad of the company. This is the whole account, and it is also something harder.
He was five when he stood in a doorway and something leaned out of a hole in the air and wanted him. He was twenty-eight when the gates finally opened, in the worst stretch of his life, and made it worse for two more years.
Since then he has been inside more than a hundred other lives. A shield-bearer in a wet field, whose whole attention was on the man standing to his left. A girl counting doorways to hold something back. A barber who talked all day, said nothing true, and was perfectly happy. An old woman alone in a house, who noticed him, and was glad of the company. This is the whole account, and it is also something harder.
Underneath the hundred lives runs a question the first two books kept circling: what is a human being, and why would anything else want the seat? The answer this book arrives at is that we are built open. The same opening that let something take hold of a frightened boy in a doorway is the one that lets a stranger's grief reach you across a room. You cannot seal the first without sealing the second, and most of what gets called damage is the cost of a door that has to stay unlocked. Half of this book is about trauma, told by someone who spent a decade inside it. What it does to the structure of a person. Why the definition of the word was quietly softened, and who benefited. What happens to a family that solves its pain by cutting people out of it. And what actually closes a wound, which takes longer and asks more than the usual advice admits.
He is not certain of any of it. He builds the case against himself as hard as he can build it, and does not knock it down.
The third of three volumes. You may read every one of these as fiction and lose nothing.
