In April of 2004, a bit after Curious Incident had become
the wildly popular book it is today, Mark Haddon(its author) said:
"...But the book, I hope, does something more than that. The legs aren't quite the same length. It isn't entirely comfortable. It's about how little separates us from those we turn away from in the street. It's about how badly we communicate with one another. It's about accepting that every life is narrow and that our only escape from this is not to run away (to another country, another relationship, a slimmer, more confident self) but to learn to love the people we are and the world in which we find ourselves.
As Christopher, my main character, says: 'People go on holidays to see new things... but I think that there are so many things just in one house that it would take years to think about all of them properly.'"

This, Madden goes on to say, is what the book is really
about.
Explain this quote, and how it “is what the book is really
about” in a well-crafted, 5-7 paragraph essay, complete with specific examples
and quotes from the book itself.
