I spent countless hours doing what I was to discover the details of a bygone era love notebooks with lists of the period of social habits, activities, clothing, weather, the politics of the time, food, etc. Once the basic book was written, filled I returned and he suggested adding details that black and white players in line, the mental image of a rupture with the textures and colors and the feeling that you have to fly in the same room, on the wall of the pre-verbal personality.
