You see, the interesting thing about books, as opposed, say, to films, is that it`s always just one person encountering the book, it`s not an audience, it`s one to one.
You have to protect it too, you can`t let just any stupid person take it and do something demoralizing with it. At the same time, I don`t believe in being so rigid about controlling what happens either.
We construct a narrative for ourselves, and that`s the thread that we follow from one day to the next. People who disintegrate as personalities are the ones who lose that thread.
