Self Portraits

Of these stories, portraits "e;of many selves,"e; the author writes: "e;In Hokusai's One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji, sometimes you see the mountain, sometimes you don't, depending on where you are standing. Like mountains, these self portraits too may be visible or invisible-or sometimes positioned at the edge of the picture. And, like mountains, they are meant to be experienced not understood."e;
