Life is a bit like bubblegum and candies. Sometimes you have to keep on chewing so that you extract whatever you can out of it.

At rare times, when you manage to strike just the right balance, a feeling of contentment reigns supreme.

The stories of David Constantine are unlike any others. His characters possess you instantly, making you see the world as they do, sometimes as exiles, driven into isolation by convictions that even they don't fully understand; sometimes as carriers of an unspoken but unbearable weight.
