For Brendan Quigley, who taught me how to write
(even as I remain completely blind to it);
Neil Murphy, who unveiled my blindness to reading,
in reading, and when reading;
and Werner Hamacher, who once told me to
“trust no one—not even me—and just read for yourself.”

Thank you for being my teachers, my mentors,
and most of all, my dear friends
