    EPIGRAPH: Writing is not crypto-autobiography, and it's not current events. I'm not writing my auto-biography, and I'm not writing things as they happen to me, with the exception of the use of details -- thunderstorms and that sort of thing. No, it's nothing that happened to me. It's a possibility. It's an idea.
