“Alongside the liberating relief of the veteran who tells us his
story, I now felt in the writing a complex, intense, and new pleasure,
similar to that I felt as a student when penetrating the solemn order of
differentials calculus. It was exalting to search and find, or create,
the right word, that is, commensurate, concise, and strong; to dredge up
events from my memory and describe them with the greatest rigor and the
least clutter.”
