I'm a person that believes writing is the most addictive repose in the world once you find it. But whatever it is, also scares the life out of me.


IF YOU REALLY want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth. In the first place that stuff bores me, and in the second place my parents would have about two hemorhages apiece if I told anything pretty personal about them. They're quite touchy about anything like that, especially my father. They're nice and all--I'm not saying that-- but they're also touchy as hell. Besides, I'm not going to tell you my whole goddam autobiography or anything. I'll just tell about this madman stuff that happened to me around last Christmas just before I got run-down and had to come out here and take it easy.
