“I was…lying awake at four a.m. thinking about this,” I said. “If…Carr’s book is all about memory, the imperfection of memory, I want…part of my book to be about…people versus characters. In the narrative of our lives…people are characters, and they’re…good characters or bad characters. But the reality is that they’re multidimensional, nuanced people, and a lot of their choices and decisions are totally…independent of our lives.”
