Emma Bull has a guest post at a blog I don't normally read, but you know, when someone I do read says "Emma Bull wrote an essay," I click the link.

Reading it I remember a thought I had some time ago, probably on the occasion of reading Set This House in Order: theory of mind and dissociative identity disorder mark two ends of a continuum, and what writers do is somewhere in between. (Not all writers' subjective experience is as Bull describes, but I think that just means not all writers are at the same place on that continuum.)

There's probably a journal article or two in there if I could only think how to test it empirically.

I read that and I'm thinking "Borges y Yo." It's not exactly like that, but the I is just another character because I'm pretty sure the writing is supposed to be entertaining and interesting and not necessarily true.
