Jayson Greene: ‘Trauma is a rip in your understanding of the universe’ | Books | The Guardian … :
““Trauma is a rip in your understanding of the universe,” says Greene, Skyping from New York. “The idea that you can prepare for trauma is wrong. You can’t. Trauma is the unforeseen and the terrible. I think people are drawn to stories in which terrible things happen because in some ways they are one of the most proven mechanisms we have in making sense of the world and making sense of our emotions.”“
