When I learned, some years ago, that writers were expected to have had really unhappy childhoods to be successful, I began to think about how I could invent horrible things my parents had done to me.
Quando soube, há uns anos,  que se achava que os escritores que tinham tido infâncias  bastante infelizes tivessem êxito, comecei a pensar como poderia inventar coisas horríveis  que os meus pais me tivessem feito.
