If one cannot close a book of memories on the deathbed, an conclusion must be arbitrary, and I have preferred to finish this essay with the years of failure which followed the acceptance of my first novel.In another sense too a book like this can only be "a sort of life", for in the course of sixty-six years I have spent almost as much time with imaginary characters as with real men and women.
