| | To be a good benign being is to be enduring a make of openness to the world, an cleverness to guardianship unsure things beyond your own manage, that can front you to be shattered in hugely extreme circumstances pro which you were not to blame. That says something uncommonly outstanding about the fettle of the righteous autobiography: that it is based on a trust in the uncertain and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a spy than like a jewel, something rather dainty, but whose very special attractiveness is inseparable from that fragility.
