It had to be mine; all books resemble their authors. In one way or another every book is autobiographical. And every fictional character is an alter ego or a collage made from this or that aspect of the author, his memories and his knowledge. It seems to me that a writer's work develops as a result of digging down inside oneself to see what is there, for the key to what one is looking for and the mystery of death. We know that the mystery of life will never be deciphered.
