One of my favorite novels of all time.



"When the hole is present, the part of you that wants to speak vanishes and you lose the desire to say anything – like when you lose your appetite after drinking too much coffee.

The condition, however, is not permanent. Some people can break free from the hole quite easily – while some don’t even sense the hole’s existence. And some people can simply swallow the hole or vomit it out; I’m not sure how they do that, but I’ve seen it happen. Most people, however, just have to wait until the hole’s existence is slowly forgotten – until the next time it appears."
