When I need to write a book that takes place in California, I need to go to California. Money be damned. But people find me annoying and a waste of their time. So it's hard to stay under the radar, and trouble looms. And people like to make trouble with others; and so they do with me.
That's why in that book I could have used as an epigraph:
"America is not so much a nightmare as a nondream. The American nondream is precisely a move to wipe the dream out of existence. The dream is a spontaneous happening and therefore dangerous to a control system set up by the nondreamers....The way to kill a man or a nation is to cut off his dreams, the way the whites are taking care of the Indians: killing their dreams, their magic, their familiar spirits."
Though I use a shorter one.
