THE GIANT Quotes

“My eyes fluttered. I coughed up some blood. And I laughed, mocking myself, mocking my own adventure. THE GIANT was simply a story. I was alone. A long time passed. A splashing of footsteps. Then, two enormous hands. With effort, they pulled my body from the pavement. My limbs were heavy.”

“More and more, I began to see the characters of these silly tales walk out of the pages and amble into the busy streets.
