I guess I'm far too literal-minded. The whole time I simply assumed the giants were a normal God parable. I was rather non-plussed about the whole quote until I saw "A meditation on childhood" and then my head exploded. I don't even remember being a kid anymore.
I saw it coming before I read the line that explicitly mentioned childhood.
On the next page in the book, the author mentions, "I decided to go through with the fiction of the giants, although the reader will have seen by the third line where I was leading him."
Personally, I didn't see it coming when I first read it. My first reaction was pretty much the same as Eneasz'.
Me too.
