The anti-autobiography of Thomas Fuller

I can think of nothing more appropriate to talk about than myself but can think of nothing much to say, other than to say I've become obsessed with my own life and understand the obligation of either keeping it completely private or transforming it into something real enough to be pleasurable to both writer and reader. If I wrote an autobiography it would be more about what didn't happen in my life than what did, as no one else knows what didn't happen and what no one knows is much more informative. I'd surely say that I learned to write a sentence by the age of six and have ever since been grateful. Everybody has at least one autobiography in them just waiting to come out: that's the problem with the genre. And why do something again that's already been done, and done better by both Alice Toklas and Luis Bunuel? Better to live my life just as it is, without writing about it at all, and to write about something else, something I know much more about than I can ever know of my own life.
