Three ways to read
First follow the story: what changes for the characters? Then read the form: who speaks and how is time divided? Then connect with your own experience. This way, a personal impression remains next to the text, instead of replacing her.
Take one reading question to a place. Sitia is a place where you can think of voice and memory; at a port of departure and return. These are thematic connections, not claims that a literary event took place at that place.
