Character: Tom Boyd
I grew up in a shitty neighborhood. Around all the time they were shouting: screams, insults, threats, shots. There was not a single book, except for a magazine with a TV program, and there I never heard Chopin or Beethoven. That's why I liked being around a Parisian who talked to me about Schopenhauer and Mozart, and not about sex, drugs, rap, tattoos and false nails!

I began to have a premonition that the characters in the novel were not made for real life. I knew Billy, her flaws and anxieties, her innocence and vulnerability. In a way, I felt responsible for what happened to her.

I didn't spare Billy in my stories, but it had no effect on me. She was a fictional character, a pure abstraction that existed solely in my imagination and in the imagination of the readers. A heroine whose material existence was reduced to just a few lines printed on slips of paper. And now the creature has risen against its creator!

Despite my success and my climb up the social ladder, there was still a fifteen-year-old teenager in me who never left MacArthur Park, with its drug dealers and screaming stairwells. And there was fear everywhere.
