Sophisticated readers understand that writers work out their anger, their conflicts, their endless grief and rolling list of loss, through their stories.

That the darkness in the soul is shaped into type and lies there, brooding and inert, black on the page, and active, dangerous, only in the reader's mind. Actually, harmless. I am not harmless.
