“To me, Clark Kent in a phone booth and Houdini in a packing crate were one and the same thing (...), You weren’t the same person when you came out as when you went in. Houdini’s first magic act, you know, back when he was just getting started. It was called ‘Metamorphosis’. It was never just a question of escape. It was also a question of transformation.” (Michael Chabon: “The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay)
