The reeking gutters of Sydney’s inner-west grew me, but would not recognise me. I lost the ability to speak in those dreary streets (though you would not think it to meet me now), with words in my ears, words in my arms in the form of stacks upon stacks of heavy hardcovers or tattered paperbacks in my jacket pockets. Words in my head and on my fingertips as I desperately tried to portray what I saw and what I heard and how it made me feel. As I tried to explain myself, justify myself, without the voice to do so, I had just one steadfast companion.
