OK, that's an exagerration, because the two books aren't completely similar. I'll have to re-read FP sometime (read in the next 50 or so years, if am alive, maybe), because the first time around, a lot of it went over my head, and some bits went right through leading to nightmares... Not a fun experience. But such experiences are good for the soul, or so I tell my Mom. The best part of that interview was this very comforting line - "I started writing narratives [novels] so late — at the age of 50, more or less." Yipee!! There's still time!
