Abstract
- The article discusses the author's effort in finding the answer to the question "who is he". Inspecting autobiographical problem at close range, the author see that it comprises problems; united by a certain wholly mysterious moment which signifies self discovery. The author is only a writer. Two questions now make their appearance. The first-what constitutes this writing of his, can be readily answered, his writing consists of a pair of miscalled novels; a brace of plays, one in prose, the other in blank verse; nine books of poems; an indeterminate number of essays; an untitled volume of satire; and a ballet scenario. The second question where, in all this material, do he find his stance as a writer most clearly expressed? can be answered almost as readily, he find it expressed most clearly in the later miscalled novel, the two plays, perhaps twenty poems, and half a dozen of the essays.
