A book arrives to readers already finished. If we allow ourselves to be mystified as we age, we might wonder at the object in our hands. Like a magic trick, this text arrived fully formed. How did these words form those sentences, and how did those paragraphs come together to make those chapters? The author did not merely pull the book out of a hat like a hidden rabbit, but rather spent years painstakingly perfecting their craft so that we might find our eyes widening in wonder while we turn each page.
