Woman: Do you consider the book to be autobiographical?
讀者甲：你認為這本書算自傳式的嗎？
Jesse: Mm-hmn. Um, well, I mean... isn't everything autobiographical? I mean, we all see the world through our own tiny keyhole, right? I mean, I always think of Thomas Wolfe. Have you ever seen that little one-page "note to Reder" in the front of Look Homeward, Angel? Right, you know what I'm talking about? Anyway, he says that we are the sum of all the moments of our lives... and that anybody who sits down to write is gonna use the clay of their own life... that you can't avoid that. So when I look at my own life, you know I have to admit, right, that I-I've never been around a bunch of guns or violence, you know, not really. No political intrigue or a helicopter crash, right? But my life, from my own point of view, has been full of drama.
杰西：這個……什么書不是自傳式的呢？我們都是通過自己那小小的鑰匙孔，看外面的世界，對吧？我是說，我總想起湯瑪斯·沃爾夫說的。你看過《天使望故鄉》那本書前面那短短一頁的“致讀者”嗎？你知道我在說什么吧？總之，他說我們的生命就是由點點滴滴集合而成的，而任何人坐下來寫出來的都不過是自己生命中的體驗。誰都無法回避，所以當我審視我的人生，我必須得承認，我發現……我從來沒有經歷過槍林彈雨或是暴力事件，起碼沒真正體驗過，沒有什么政治陰謀，也沒經歷過什么直升機拾，但是我的人生，從我個人觀點來看，仍然是富有戲劇性的。
