Complexity

Time
"The deep, personal material of the latter half of your life is your children. You can write about your parents when they're gone, but your children are still going to be here, and you're going to want them to come and visit you in the nursing home."
Home
"Memory is the way we keep telling ourselves our stories - and telling other people a somewhat different version of our stories."
