Mailer says that his<br /> <br /> {{cquote|own key experiences are exactly what I will not use directly. They can instead form crystals in the mind and the heart so that metaphorically I can shine a light through them. I can get one story if the light points in one direction, and yet another for the opposite. That is why I have always wanted to do books not too near me, books that take me out to distant, alien landscapes, places where I have an insight and where the event can have a life, a psychological reality within my imagination.}}<br /> <br /> {{1980s|state=collapsed}}<br /> {{1990s|state=expanded}}<br /> {{2000s|state=collapsed}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Works]]<br /> [[Category:Works in the 1990s]]<br /> [[Category:Works in 1992]]<br /> [[Category:Article-Interviews]]</div>
