“Where the Past Begins (A Writer’s Memoir)” by Amy Tan (post 2): Does Tan’s editor, Daniel Halpern, think her fugues imply alternate personalities?

Amy Tan dedicated this memoir to her editor: “For Daniel Halpern, suddenly and finally, our book.”

But does Halpern infer that Tan’s fugues when she writes (see previous post) are memory gaps for periods of time during which alternate personalities had taken over?

He might, since he once edited a book titled “Who’s Writing This?” (1).

Search “dissociative fugue,” “fugue,” and “memory gaps” in this blog.
