Is it that you are writing about writing and about how you think, topics I've written about myself many times over the years? Or is it that without the philosophical stylings of much of your recent work, your cadences resemble mine? What's even stranger is that I also hear echoes of my mother's writing in yours. I suppose it's not so odd for family resemblances to emerge among writers from the same family. I'd just never noticed those resemblances so clearly before.
