I think that process began to get my work back on track. I never thought that. Yes, so much. You couldnt take that trip now, because it would already be processed as you were taking it.

Forming it into a narrative is living (even if, as with Didion, the story you tell about yourself is that youre a neurasthenic cynic above such consolations).

Its interesting that you said that that story, The Stylist, was the first one you put ideas into. During the actual process of writing something, you dont always realize that its inert. And I actually did a creative thesis. Weve talked about your recent books but not about the beginning of your career. And there was no way I could have reached anyone to talk about it. But when those attacks happened, and they happened several times in the course of two months, I would actually write, during the attacks and afterward, to sort of process them.

Which was a sign that finally I had found an approach that made sense for the material that I wanted to write about. And Im now feeling like maybe I can. And then I go through a long editing process, but it does begin with a list of desires and then a test to see if the writing feels free using one of those structures. People have said that this kind of technology is imminent, but I dont think it is. Probably page 5!

Ive always loved crime novels, but I havent really let myself read them that much for a couple of reasons. I read a lot of Shakespeare in England, and his storytelling abilities, putting aside the poetry and all the rest of it, were just so extraordinary. But Im very glad that I had the little experience with it that I did because it was extremely useful in thinking about image culture and what it is to be an object. I was so alone. You said, Read it.
