‘This is where I learned that sometimes we enter art to hide within it. It is where we can go to save ourselves, where a third-person voice protects us. Just as there is, in the real landscape of Paris in Les Misérables, that small fictional Street Victor Hugo provides for Jean Valjean to slip into, in which to hide from his pursuers.’
– Micahel Ondaatje, Divisadero
