All Confessions Are Odysseys.

One Can Easily Classify All Works Of Fiction Either As Descendants Of The Iliad Or Of The Odyssey.

Fiction Has Consisted Either Of Placing Imaginary Characters In A True Story, Which Is The Iliad, Or Of Presenting The Story Of An Individual As Having A General Historical Value, Which Is The Odyssey.

Being Or Nothing, That Is The Question. Ascending, Descending, Coming, Going, A Man Does So Much That In The End He Disappears.

The Odyssey Is The Story Of Someone Who, In The Course Of Diverse Experiences, Acquires A Personality Or Affirms And Recovers His Personality.

It Is The Creator Of Fiction's Point Of View; It Is The Character Who Interests Him. Sometimes He Wants To Convince The Reader That The Story He Is Telling Is As Interesting As Universal History.
