"All those who actually live the mysteries of life haven't the time to write, and all those who have the time don't live them! D'you see?"

What is the purpose of writing? For me personally, it is really to explain the mystery of life, and the mystery of life includes, of course, the personal, the political, the forces that make us what we are while there's another force from inside battling to make us something else.
