Preface
I have no problem looking into my memory and recovering the look, sound, smell, and even my emotional reaction to events from very early childhood. But for me to imagine sitting down to write a book was unthinkable. The science of language has never been my strong point, something proven time and again in school. In grammar school, my classmate Iso and I used to cheat by exchanging homework: she would do my French and humanities and I would do her math and science.
I acquired my statistical training late in life and entered a career in that field partly because I was stronger in science and mathematics than I was in languages and literature. That is why, after I came to settle in the United States in 1985, I decided I would have to take classes in English grammar and literature to be able to attend the classes in art I loved most. But Dorothy, my beautiful and serene English instructor, discovered a different side of me, one I was not aware of. She saw in my written assignments a gift for writing fiction. "Are these your stories or did you copy them from a magazine?" she asked. "No," I told her, "I am translating them from my diary. These stories are about my own life."
