It is an effort carried out against formidable enemies: habit inertia the fear of change and what it will entail the wish to preserve our idiot corners of safety, of being 'right' and self righteousness - the most dangerous enemy of all, full of a terrible energy that would turn us away from pondering the mystery of existence towards its own barren pleasures. In this sense, thought is the effort to recognize.

By thought, I mean that preoccupation with what we feel and why we feel it, and the enormous effort we must make to educe from a tangle of impressions and fleeting images the nature of those feelings. All such victories are, I believe, transient. Because a major effort of writing is reflection, which is silent and solitary, I place thought under the heading of the experiences I had while I was writing The Slave Dancer.īy thought, I do not mean the marshalling of one's intellectual forces to refute an argument or to bring about a temporary victory over what agitates and bewilders us. And the original intention - that first sudden stirring of one's imagination - is made up of many small, almost always humble, things. Suspense, horror, piano and music box - takaya.Nearly all the work of writing is silent.
