digaman asked: What was the first thing you can remember reading that gave you a clue as to who you really are?
A Confederacy of Dunces by Joseph Kennedy Toole. I remember; I was 12 or 13. That felt like the first formative and humane experience I had with a story. And in that same year I watched 2001: A Space Odyssey for the first time, which made me feel fully intellectually engaged, and viscerally moved. Great question… Thank you.
