From TEV's Q&A with Richard Nash:
TEV: Deal! Until then who do you think the ideal reader of Tom's book is? And what reason would you give a non-Tintin reader for taking a look?
RN: Oh wow. I think Tom creates an ideal reader through the writing of the book. In effect, the book is about reading, a kind of reading of the world. So I suppose the ideal reader is a person willing to submit to Tom’s readings, but also a person will to read a reading. A mixture of humility and arrogance then, but with unbounded curiosity soaking the whole shebang. And, by implication, I think I’m hinting at the reasons. I’d suggest reading it because, in subtle ways, you’ll read EVERYTHING a little bit differently after you read this book. Another title for this book could have been READING DEGREE ZERO.
Well, I'm excited. Good work, RN -- I've been looking forward to reading this one for a while.
