That is just how it is. It sounds like an answer. It is a door being closed. Behind it somebody filed your rent, the line that decides where you are allowed to live, the number that decides whether you get the loan, the grade that opened a career to you or shut it.None of it is landscape.Not one border fell out of the sky.

This book costs something. After it you will no longer be able to say 'there is nothing I can do' with the same clear conscience.Not 'that is how it is.' Rather, 'that is how we made it.'.…
