Why Do I Write? (Writing Muse)
Every life, Tranströmer writes, “has a sister ship,” one that follows “quite another route” than the one we ended up taking. We want it to be otherwise, but it cannot be: the people we might have been live a different, phantom life than the people we are.
I think it’s some of these unchosen lives that drive me to write. To explore what I haven’t in real life had the time, or the opportunity, or the inclination, or the money to explore. To play with options and possibilities.
