Rumaan Alam To be five years old is to be surprised by life. I’m amused by my children’s awe at quotidian things – a toy helicopter, a bubble bath, the visible tentacles on a plate of calamari. And I’m envious of their ability to attain something I often can’t: a state of transcendence induced by art. – Rumaan Alam
