“Parker had never before felt the least motion of wonder in himself until he saw the man at the fair. It did not enter his head that there was anything out of the ordinary about the fact that he existed. Even then it did not enter his head, but a peculiar unease settled in him. It was as if a blind boy had been turned so gently in a different direction that he did not know his destination had be changed” – Flannery O’Connor, from “Parker’s Back”
