For the Tintin books were my emotional universe. To read them felt quite simply like being loved: in advance and by an entire world of pure possibility, my future. But to write to the author was to reach out for the lover. Even today, the power of reading one remains visceral: each book acts as a form of transportation, not just to the emotional landscape of this first literary love affair but to very specific memories.

When you can stop you don't want to, and when you want to stop, you can't.

In the presence of their love I sensed my lonliness, and I understood for a moment, clearly, that deep and basic human desire for companionship at depth.

Love could be fractured and serve different purposes, and that intense love could be divided, between people just as easily as between moments of time.

And I come to realise that all my small todays, the way I act, will lead into my tomorrows.
