ERIN: That is how I had originally interpreted it (except for the brujo that
was interesting addition) but for some reason this interpretation seems to say
book has the meaning, i.e. the jigsaw piece. So I am not sure when Wim says
the meaning is not in the book or the reader but in the relation than where
exactly is this jigsaw piece.
