“In a recent study of the use of repetition in literature, Bruce F. Kawin observes that ‘Events whose repetition is not extraordinary do not seem worth recording, in fact, hardly seem worth noticing.’ This statement is very close to what has been the strategy of my life. This is what it means to dare to be naive. The preoccupied search for the extraordinary pattern cannot fail to obscure the larger and more obvious ordinary patterns-- so obvious that they always seemed to be missed.”
