In my essay (specifically a recount essay of a moment in the past), my objective is to end with the discussion of Death as a being (because my recounted moment will be related to death). I'd like to indrectly reference _The Book Thief_ by Mark Zusak by saying something like:

I don't want to take this as my own idea though, so I'm wondering how exactly I'd cite this? Do I need to at all?
