I adore this book because it gives you a little glimpse of Theo’s thoughts and his mindset. He’s speaking out his thoughts on Heidi’s photos, offering you a wide range of objective information and personal views on the subject matter. Most of my attention was taken by his words – I skimmed through the photos, longing for more little pieces of information so I could put together a puzzle. Theo isn’t much of a novelist, more of an intuitive writer, boiling down his thoughts to their basics, which is a good way to give you an impression on the subject. The book addresses a lot of topics, such as sociocultural issues, architecture-related topics, but most importantly, it fascinates me to see life through his eyes. Reading this book made me question how a human being can draw so much attention to a previously overlooked matter. How much time a person needs to spend being alone, thinking, realizing, rethinking, writing down, to show us that everything is connected in strange ways. It was near a physical struggle realizing I had come to the last pages of the book. I wish there were more words. More of him to read.
