How I Write Novels Using My Multiple Personality: A Literary Genre That is Inevitable

But is it inevitable? Is it even possible? Could novelists write such books? And if they could, would they want to?

First, how many novelists even know that they have multiple personality? I have cited Margaret Atwood as saying that she and other novelists have known about it for at least one hundred and fifty years. But do they have more than a very vague idea about it?

Second, how would they write such a book? Would one identity be in charge? Which one? Would each identity get a chapter? The process seems problematic.

Third, would such a project disrupt the novelist’s usual creative process and make future novels less likely?

Fourth, would such books be like telling everyone how magic tricks work, and take all the fun out of reading novels?

I think such books are inevitable, and that the only questions are: sooner or later, first or last.
