One of the greatest stories I've ever read. If you love a psychoanalytical story or supernatural fiction, give it a go!

I actually think I've figured this out but would love to hear yalls thoughts here too.

At first I was against the idea of writing a character smarter than myself since it was a rather intimidating idea. I had seen and read terrible smart characters which felt omnipotent and made nearly no sense to me. On the other hand I read characters who were just genuinely well written and smart and I couldn't realise why.

Recently I came to the conclusion that the answer is simpler than I thought. Not just that it's a rather universal feeling. The feeling of being unable to express an idea you know well but can't seem to explain out loud. All you need for a smart character is perfect recall. To remember everything all the time.

Not knowing, not deducing, remembering and communicating.

Some quotes from the book:

  • Humor is almost always anger with its make-up on.
  • The muses are ghosts, and sometimes they come uninvited.
  • I felt lonely and content at the same time. I believe that is a rare kind of happiness.
  • I see things, that's all. Write enough stories and every shadow on the floor looks like a footprint; every line in the dirt like a secret message.
  • A person can go along quite awhile if they get a good day every once and again

Its beautifully written.
