More about the book
The narrative explores the juxtaposition of wonder and familiarity through the lens of childhood curiosity. It reflects on the author's early experiences with fire, likening it to a wild creature contained within a safe space. As the protagonist matures, the initial awe transforms into casual acceptance, highlighting how repeated exposure dulls our perception of the extraordinary. The text invites readers to reconsider the wonder in everyday phenomena, suggesting that the bizarre remains unchanged, but our appreciation for it often fades over time.
