"I had to leave home to finish my story, but I couldn't go just anywhere. I wanted to put to the test my memories of a country that had felt so strangely and undeservedly familiar to me on the many trips I made there dozen years ago: my Belgium, a Belgium that was, like the castle-studded rolling landscape in the background of a Flemish painting, always more the work of the artist's imagination than of empirical fact."

Richard Powers
