“My fictional worlds were those of a fabulist, of an intellectual fantasist. I was the lawgiver, and the countries and inhabitants of my imagination were answerable to me. If I wished for a man to levitate; to enter another's story by rowboat or by intoning a sentence or by performing a shadow-puppet play; if I wanted him to become a swarm of intelligent elementary particles and enter the Internet and travel into the past and far into the future, it was so.” IfsMenWorldCountryPlayStoriesWantedPastImaginationInternetIntellectualShadowIntelligentSentencesPerformingMy ImaginationParticlesPuppetsSwarmsFictional Worlds Author:Norman Lock
