Among thousands of people, you meet those you've met. Through thousands of years, across the boundless wilderness of time, you happen to meet them, neither earlier nor a bit too late. There is nothing to be said except to ask lightly, "Oh, you're here too?"

"When you're able to make people dance, you're able to make people forget about their problems for a while."

The novel is a form of exploration, a way of understanding the world and our place in it.
