Suppose 90% of Novelists and 30% of The Public do, in fact, have Multiple Personality: Who cares? And so what?

Remember, we are talking about normal multiple personality, as opposed to multiple personality disorder. Normal multiple personality is normal not because everyone has it—most people, 70%, don’t—but because, by definition, it does not cause the person distress, dysfunction, or disability. Indeed, normal multiple personality may be an asset for creativity.

So if having this kind of multiple personality does not cause any major problem, of what interest is it, and to whom? Would it be of interest to:

Novelists? Aspiring novelists? Agents, editors, publishers, interviewers, or biographers of novelists? Friends or family of novelists? Literature professors? Psychologists? Book reviewers? Readers? Cultural critics? Intellectuals? Ordinary people? Others?

If you fall into any of these groups, I would welcome your comment, which you can make by clicking “comment” at the end of this post (or at the end of any post in this blog).
