“Have you ever felt, in the course of reading a detective novel, a guilty thrill of relief at having a character murdered before he can step onto the page and burden you with his actual existence? And characters mentioned early on but never sighted, just lingering offstage, take on an awful portentous quality. “Does every conversation with you have to be the director’s cut?” “I'm tightly wound.

The insomniac brain is a sort of conspiracy theorist as well, believing too much in its own paranoiac importance--as though if it were to blink, then doze, the world might be overrun by some encroaching calamity, which its obsessive musings are somehow fending off.”
