You know that fiction, prose rather, is possibly the roughest trade of all in writing. You do not have the reference, the old important reference. You have the sheet of blank paper, the pencil, and the obligation to invent truer than things can be true.

A second secret is the fact that the existence of the Establishment - the ruling class - is not supposed to be discussed.
