Don't feel that you're talking in an empty room, listening to the hollow voices - the room isn't bare, it might take imagination to furnish it, but the sound of your voice will conjure up dream and myth and belief, and we are very glad of these.
The real hollowness is the emptiness of all of that disposable fiction, without anything solid to send the echo back to you. There's nothing wrong with books as fast food, just sometimes you want something more substantial. Looking forward to The Drowning Girl: A Memoir.
