“ Many people dream of books but never become writers. At the beginning of The Kindly Ones, for example, Lucien shows a visitor a book the dreamer didn’t even realize he’d created: The Bestselling Romantic Spy Thriller I Used to Think About on the Bus That Would Sell a Billion Copies and Mean I’d Never Have to Work Again.
Further, even a professional author typically dreams up a hundred books for every one he publishes.
And even a book the author has published is but a sad shadow of the one he dreamed.
