30: « I became a writer out of desperation, so when I first heard my brother was dying, I was familiar with the act of saving myself: I would write about him. I would write about his dying. When I was young, younger than I am now, I started to write about my own life and I came to see that this act saved my life. When I heard about my brother’s illness and his dying, I knew, instinctively, that to understand it, or to make an attempt at understanding his dying, and not to die with him, I would have to write about it. » (MB, 195-6) Document diffusé par Manioc.org
