Doctorow famously said that writing a novel is like driving at night—you can see about as far as your headlights shine.
For Doctorow, the brain could stand for free creation and the mind represent forms and genres.
Doctorow, who met him around this time, remembers him having the intellect of an adult.
Indeed, Doctorow has long been doing just this for a long time.
I mentioned to Doctorow that I particularly enjoyed this fanciful invention on his part.
After crossing the bridge they made their way to the headquarters of General Doctorow, and were at once shown in.
But at least with this book Doctorow has given us a map of the park.
