Curiosity that leads to looking for secrets lies at the crossroads of sameness and difference – desire to imagine we are all the same yet seduced by the possibility we are different. Imagining other ways of being offers the opportunity to disrupt the idea of us/them. What is outside is seldom the same as what is inside. We are different and in that way alike. Curiosity may allow us to discover that who we decide we are, tell ourselves we are, tell others we are is in constant flux, not stable but an ongoing examination and challenge of meanings and practices. In Who Can Know the Heart, Sara believes her grandfather’s tin box was meant for her mother, yet she is unable to resist combing its contents for information about her family. Along with finding letters her grandfather sent to Soren, she also finds a number of unsent letters her mother wrote to Sam Burden, two letters from him to Soren, and several photographs with her mother’s handwriting on the back. Sara’s grandfather’s letters suggest reprehensible goings-on, but what her mother places in the box reveals secrets that trouble everything Sara has taken for granted.
