“Just as humans are created from elaborate matrices
of ancestral traits, fictional characters, too, resemble the people who create
them. Even stock romantic-comedy heroines (who are written and rewritten in
Hollywood boardrooms for maximum ‘likability’) carry traces of DNA from the
hands that craft them. Even at our most inventive, we are what we
write.”—Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody (Juno), “The Narcissist Decade,” Newsweek, Dec. 5, 2011Wednesday, September 12, 2018
