I had watched a movie about Virginia Woolf and her lesbian lover, and I thought, Ooh, I need to read this one. Throughout her entire novel “Written on the Body,” you never know if the main protagonist is a woman or a man. The protagonist of that book has many different kinds of lovers, and it’s just a mind-opening piece of literature. You mention in your memoir that you gave up reading as a child for a time. Then of course I started reading again in my 20s and I was lit on fire by it.
