Volume 13 Number 3, January 2012
“Imagination is more important than knowledge,” Einstein once said. His desire to open doors, to chart the world, dissect it, understand it, and make order out of chaos, echoes the experience of creation found in writing. Writers, too, work in solitude, inside their heads, solving problems and stitching together worlds. They calculate the geometry of human relationships, the velocity of a falling expectation, the force of a breaking heart. As with writing and science, the act of reading, at bottom, is about exploration, be it a microscope or a point of view, and being open to discovery.
