Anthony Doerr Quote

I wasn't trying to reach England. Or Paris. I thought that if I made the broadcast powerful enough, my brother would hear me. That I could bring him some peace, protect him as he had always protected me.You'd play your brother's own voice to him? After he died?And Debussy.Did he ever talk back?
