Inner Meanings

The goal is to write outside a story and inside a person: life as a narrative is only so interesting, because all it represents is birth to death, but life from inside itself represents so much: that's the basic belief of the writer of this book, and what this book intends to express. It begins with a nonchronological representation of how the writer's dream self developed after moving to Southern California over seventeen years ago, and it ends with a recent snapshot of the writer's life one night in a hotel room during a heatwave. The book says the plotlessness represents a goal of the writer's: to develop a pure form for writing about the experience of being himself.
