I will make a bold statement and I'm happy to be contradicted: in my opinion, all of Paulo's books include an element of the inner workings of his psyche. Yes, he has created some wonderful fiction, but the foundation for his writing starts within the active imagination that he engages with such craftsmanship that it resonates with his readers who are 'open' to his leading. This in no way diminishes his storytelling, on the contrary - it takes it to another level. When we get to reading Veronica Decides To Die - for example - we will see how deeply personal this story is for Paulo and knowing this brings fresh viewpoints to the story.
