So it is a logical step for me. Both deal with lives and its details. In psychoanalysis, you recreate real stories, in fiction, you create other stories. The creation of life is common to both. Personally, I cannot distinguish much between the two.
Psychoanalysis also uses imagination.
I use empathy to see the lives of the character. I wonder what people think when they are told that a psychoanalyst has written this book. Not many psychoanalysts have written books. So the expectation worldwide is to see some kind of analysis in it. Your last book, Ascetic of Desire, was well received worldwide.
