Faulkner's 'As I Lay Dying' had an immense effect on me, and most of my novels bear the burn marks of this experience, those short chapters with their conflicting points of view, truth expressed by multiple perspectives.

After the revolution you have the problem of keeping things going, of sorting out all the different views.
