Picking up a book you wrote long ago – this may be the riskiest thing a writer can do. But a few weeks ago, in connection to the request from Panodyssey, that’s just what I did. I started leafing through Incognito. I read a few pages, and it was uncomfortable seeing certain stories from my own life. This was my first novel, I started writing it about twenty years ago, and while the personal voice makes sense considering the subject matter, the question presented itself: how and why had I kept so far away from this self-therapeutic coming out text?

This immediately brought up other questions as well, and perhaps the most important one: what does the relationship to personality and reality mean for a writer in their own work?
