You can look at my autobiographical pieces as source books... But, you see, my fiction doesn't revolve around autobiographical questions.
Fiction creating reality.
I think human beings wouldn't be human without narrative fiction.
All my novels are very much directly related to my inner life, even though I'm inventing characters, even though it's fiction, even though it's make-believe, it nevertheless is coming out of the deepest recesses of myself.
No one wants to be part of a fiction, and even less so if that fiction is real.
The most deeply personal of my works are the non-fiction works, the autobiographical works, because there, I'm talking about myself very directly.
The fiction is not autobiographical. Maybe to some extent it is, of course.
The kind of fiction I'm trying to write is about telling the truth.
