The symmetrical letter with which I represent M., offering a tip of the hat to the neat symmetries of fiction, is an invention. For each of his readers, his name will recall a different person. Of course, it wouldn’t be too difficult to solve the puzzle of M.’s identity, but I still prefer this single letter, while I list some aspects of our friendship, brief though it may be, separate from whatever his name conjures for others.

For a long time, I thought of writers as people with a sort of immunity, with the power to shape events in whichever way they wanted. The title of writer was mysterious, even mythical; it was separate from the world.

And from time to time, I thought of M. in this way as well. Even when he wrote to me, I felt that he was in two places at once, forming daily events into another story, and that whatever path our friendship took, it would inevitably become what M. wanted it to be.
