"Life has a cost, and telling it is about fixing its value."

This is what the narrator says to his little girl.

He is in a good position to talk about it, because stories his life consists of reading.

He is in fact a television script reader.

He also knows the cost of living because he is afraid of losing his job, and because he is a widower.
