Document Summary

A town of the mind, my own private world (315) An attempt to understand one"s background and one"s past, sometimes even a more distant past which one has not personally experienced (313) Own writing attempt to assimilate the past, partly in order to be freed from it, partly in order to try to understand myself and perhaps others of my generation, through seeing where we has come from (314) My writing, then, has been my own attempt to come to terms with the past (316) Not as sure as other authors, hence the red words. The physical presence of the place itself (315) They share similar themes in different places. I say this now as if i knew it all then (413) But of course it was not that way at all, for i learned it all very slowly and there was not time enough (414) Thinking of the process of writing a story.
