Tell all the Truth but tell it slant

Anita Brookner said somewhere, in one of the interviews, that she was reserving autobiographical information for her own purposes. One might have hoped for some kind of late phase of autobiography, something akin to Henry James's late-career volumes of life-writing.

Good to hide, and hear 'em hunt!
Better, to be found...
