“Gandhi’s Truth. I never read a book that was just such a comprehensive deconstruction of a person’s life and their actions against the framework of their psychology, of their personal history, and I found that just captivating. I remember him going on the train to Pakistan from India filled with Muslims and what happened. It was kind of a revelation, perhaps from a protected life…being suddenly struck by people that hated each other for no reason because I thought, “Well they’re the same people. What’s the difference?” And they weren’t fighting over ideology. It wasn’t as if Islam and Hinduism were somehow at stake in what was going on. It was just simply irrational hatred or so it seemed.
