Pero es muy ingenuo creer que los hechos constituyen, por sí mismos, la verdad.

I think I’m two people—the researcher and the writer. The researcher spends quite a lot of time going abroad, working in libraries, seeing letters. I sometimes turn to the writer, who is doing nothing at that point—who is sleeping!—and I say, Do you want this bit about Shaw bicycling? And the writer doesn’t know. He says, You’re the researcher, you decide. So the researcher thinks, Well, that’s really not important. And the researcher is always longing to be writing, getting on with the actual problem we created. Then the writer takes over, shuts the door to the world, and kicks back on this researcher who was traveling the world, meeting people, making discoveries, and he says, Why the hell is there no documentation here about Shaw and the bicycle? This part of Shaw’s life is exactly about how things were happening more quickly, whereas before he was on foot. That’s what I find so funny.
