我不认为我的记忆是准确的或静态的——而且,在自传体小说中,我的重点仍然是创造一种效果,而不是记录现实——所以“自传”,对我来说,在含义上更接近“小说”而不是“自传”。
(I don't view my memory as accurate or static - and, in autobiographical fiction, my focus is still on creating an effect, not on documenting reality - so 'autobiographical,' to me, is closer in meaning to 'fiction' than 'autobiography.')
