Did you write it this way?ĬF: Yes, very deliberately. RGC: The questions we had after finishing the book reflected how Gil felt about books – the reader makes the book. In my mind though I think Gil found them all, but unfortunately he didn’t get to read the most important letter – Ingrid’s last one – which he finds in a book in the very beginning but loses before he’s had time to read it. Also, I don’t tend to think too much about the story beyond the bounds of the book, so I don’t know if there are more letters.
