Understanding this quote
The speaker reverses the usual idea of choosing a work. Instead of presenting “Death in Venice” as a deliberate personal selection, they describe it as something that came to them and claimed their attention. The wording gives the title an almost active role, suggesting a strong sense of recognition or fit between the speaker and the work.
