"How strange, to think of my persona as having changed without being aware of it, as if I’d undergone a drastic facial transformation without taking note of it in the mirror. How often, I wonder, do we hear ourselves on paper? How often do we listen to the changes taking place in our voice; how often do we take stock of our morphing selves?"
