Paul Auster,1974

He wanders. On a road that is not a road, on an earth that is not his earth, an exile in his own body. Whatever is given to him, he will refuse. Whatever is spread before him, he will turn his back on. He will refuse, the better to hunger for what he has denied himself. For to enter the promised land is to despair of ever coming near it. Therefore he holds everything away from him, at arms length, at lifes length, and comes closest to arriving when farthest from his destination.
