Writing is the place of interaction, exchange and search. Suzanne Vega calls that place the Big Space. An inner space, lonely and labyrinthine. Where you can hear lost echoes, urgent whispers, unexpected murmurs. A vital and primordial place.
Writing begins there, in that darkness and in the willingness to listen.
It's the light that discloses memories, fragments, traces. Suzanne Vega is the writer of those little specks of light. Truth and passion are her guides. I have tried to make them my own as well in the process of putting this book together. She would not want it any other way.
