Dreams? If only they had been! But I don't need dreams, Doctor, that's why I hardly have themโbecause I have this life instead. With me it all happens in broad daylight!
Philip RothFear presides over these memories, a perpetual fear.Of course no childhood is without its terrors, yet I wonder if I would have been a less frightened boy if Lindbergh hadn't been president or if I hadn't been the offspring of Jews.
