Thanks for sharing that Sallis quotation, Stewart. Very
interesting.
Also, Sallis was a gracious guest on Rara Avis back in 2004
and gave the following answer (I giggled when I saw whom he
was responding to):
The series is adumbrated in the first volume, which begins as
fairly standard fare, then circles in ever closer to a kind
of autobiography. I knew that pattern, that tendency or
structure, would continue through the later books. As I wrote
MOTH, I knew where I'd end the series -- but I had a few
other novels in the series to write first.
