Unveiling Secrets and Loss: Jill Bialosky’s Intimate Journey Through Grief and Memory
JB: I love the idea of a cento poem formed from a stack of book titles. Why not? All of these titles recall time. Time has always been a mystery to me. How we live in so many layers of time past and time present and time future paraphrasing Mr. Eliot.
Eliot and Thomas Mann kept me company as I was writing this book, Eliot’s The Wasteland and The Four Quartets and Thomas Mann’s, The Magic Mountain, all preoccupied with time. And I suppose The End is the Beginning is also about time and memory and how they shape us.
