Necessary Errors: a Novel
“They welcomed them, but they could not answer, in their philosophy.”
“They never wrote back.”
“They wrote back, but they could not answer. Perhaps I do not have the right word…”
“No, I understand.”
“It was a thing of chance for them. And so he continued to write. The letters are very painful and very beautiful.”
Jacob silently considered translating Kaspar’s writer into English some day. “Are you making good progress?” Jacob asked.

“But he lives with you?”
“I arranged for him to stay with me.”
“Is he too a writer?”
“I don’t know,” Jacob answered, but then he remembered what Annie had said.MoreLess
