"I wrote my experimental novel, Vague Semblances, in a fit, or seizure of inspiration over ninety days of writing, working for two hours a day to produce four pages. Alternating between abstract and realistic prose, characters, events, and narratives emerge from the surrealist fantasy that is this novel. Written through "automatic writing," I accessed my unconscious mind to dredge forth the images and substance of this novel, my second, following upon my earlier Reap Violet Hiss, written forty-four years earlier."
