Tim Parks sul rapporto scrittura/autobiografia

Molto interessante e intelligente - come al solito - il problema che Tim Parks dibatte sul suo blog sulla New York Review of Books. "I fear I shall be floating this fanciful idea just to see it shot down, yet it is something my mind has fastened on in recent years: How far is the trajectory of an author’s writing career and the themes that guide it related to the moment and nature of his or her death? 
I have suggested elsewhere that much great narrative writing springs from some unresolved conflict, or we might even say, structural dilemma in the author’s personality. ..." nybooks.
