I find that this quote makes me a bit sad…

“…if we are to be such nomads with the truth, why do we not make the story more premium than life? It seems to me that we are making the story even inferior. We often make ourselves appear as though we are foolish people, and we make our voyage, which was an ennobled voyage, appear very normal and second rate. We could give your grandfather two arms, and could make him high-fidelity. We could give Brod what she deserves…We could even find Augustine…and you could thank her, and Grandfather and I could embrace, and it could be perfect and beautiful, and funny, and usefully sad, as you say.”

Also I find it very endearing that Alex always signs his letters “Guilelessly, Alexander.” That suits him so much more than “Sincerely” does.
