Yes, a lot has happened over the past ten years. So much was happening that I had to take a break from writing. I experience things in life, and I experience things when I write. What I experience when I write has as great an impact, if not greater, than what I experience in life. To write is to dream while awake, to place oneself in a controlled dreamlike state where one advances by listening. So I didn’t want to write in a fragile period, one where I had stopped drinking and had recently converted. I would first have to return to my usual reality.

I agreed with my publishers to split it into separate volumes, but it remains a unity. What happens early on in the first part gets answered in the seventh [the three books are divided into seven sections]. There are bits and pieces paired together between the different parts. For instance, it’s possible to only read parts I and II, or even only the final two, and you can still get something out of it. But to me, it’s a unity, and it needs to be available in one all-encompassing volume.
