“One evening I was sitting in my living room when a voice suddenly came to me. The voice was full of so much urgency, energy, shame, sadness, the desire to confess repressed thoughts. So I picked up my BlackBerry and I began to follow the voice, to give it room to express itself, to try to understand it. After writing about 500 words, I stopped and began to reread all that I had written. I discovered that it was the most truthful and eviscerating piece of writing I had ever composed up till that time. This piece became the opening of the novel.”
