Literary – May 9

“The best moments in reading are when you come across something — a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things — which you had thought special and particular to you. And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours.”

–Alan Bennett, born this date in 1934, in History Boys.

Writing prompt: Write a scene in which your protagonist meets someone who wrote a passage that affected your protag this way.
