As I writer I feel pressure to create what seems to sell, though it's not my voice. There's the Political Consciousness play (Time: day of the fall of Berlin's wall) , the Someone-Else's Culture play (should I milk my Lithuanian ancestry though I know nothing about the place?) the Name Dropping play (Matisse, Marx and Magellan wait for a late bus) and the Lyrical Language drama (her metaphors were like coleslaw.) So much feels like formula-on-request.
