Did any of your difficulty surface in some of the diary portions of The Red Tree?
Yes. In the end, when it was written, I was rather horrified that so much of it was, essentially, autobiography. A lot of that happened unconsciously. And I think that may be because I am, increasingly, unable to distinguish between that which ought to be personal and that which ought to be private. I suppose this is the ghost of my own propriety, and propriety must surely be an unfashionable thing these days.
