"This thing about looking for someone less different... It only really worked, he realized, if you were convinced that being you wasn't so bad in the first place."

I was secretly convinced that with such a marvel one would be able to write anything, from novels to encyclopedias, and letters whose supernatural power would surpass any postal limitations--a letter written with that pen would reach the most remote corners of the world, even that unknowable place to which my father said my mother had gone and from where she would never return.
