"And to me it is strange that it is only now, as I write, that I see, like the sympathetic historian of a revolution who detects the seed of disaster in some minor and unregarded action, it is only now I see that all the activity of these years, existing as I have said in my own mind in parenthesis, represented a type of withdrawal, and was part of the injury inflicted on me by the too solid three-dimentional city in which I could never feel myself as anything but spectral, disintegrating, pointless, fluid."

{ V.S. Naipaul, The Mimic Men, 1967 }
