Windows, Mirrors & Sliding Glass Doors
“Books are sometimes windows, offering views of the world that
may be real or imagined, familiar or strange. These windows are
also sliding glass doors, and readers have only to walk through an
imagination to become part of whatever world has been created or
recreated by the author. When lighting conditions are just right,
however, a window can also be a mirror. Literature transforms
human experience and reflects it back to us, and in that reflection
we can see our own lives and experiences as part of the larger
human experience. Reading, then, becomes a means of self-
affirmation, and readers often seek their mirrors in books.” -
