The Book: On The Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are / quote 13 of 101

A culture with few magical objects

Architecture is almost totally bereft of exuberance, obsessed with erecting glass boxes. Children’s books are written by serious ladies with three names and no imagination, and as for comics, have you ever looked at the furniture in Dagwood’s home?
