"Stories bear the truth of the human condition, and the human condition is the story of our becoming; but not until we solve the riddle of our becoming will literature resolve the issue of the human condition. This makes literature endlessly fascinating, because every writer speaks to their place in the enan-tiodromiac process of manÕs becoming, which Jung called Òindividuation,Ó and in their stories they stake out the geography of manÕs soulÑwhether it be the happy country of oneÕs being, the unhappy country of oneÕs non-being, or that miserable place of being stuck between two countriesÑthe no-manÕs land of oneÕs soul."
