Goodreads asked Tim Parks:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Tim Parks Out of My Head, On the Trail of Consciousness, began when I heard a guy at a conference say, There are no images in our heads, all our experience is outside of us, it is the things we see and hear and touch. The guy was Riccardo Manzotti. We became friends and spent years talking about his work on consciousness. At a certain point the book became inevitable.
