“In the back seat of my parents' car, I liked to put my finger on the window and write long cursive words on the pastures. I wanted the seat on the right, because then I was writing into what had passed, instead of what was coming, which felt like the proper orientation. Decades later, I stood at the edge of a field that was blank with snow, and I felt again that old urge to write on it."
