| Sumario: | The article presents an interview with Tom Disch, a professional wrestler turned writer by David Lehman, a writer. The subject of discussion was Tom's computer games novel "Amnesia," which had been issued by Electronic Arts, a software firm in San Mateo, California. Portions of the interview appeared in David's article on electronic novels that ran, under the heading "You Are What You Read," in the January 12, 1987 issue of Newsweek. Tom is an unconventional writer, not because he adheres to the principles of this or that sell-styled vanguard group but in fact, he stubbornly remains his own man and by dint of his readiness to embrace new forms of composition and to do so at an impressive level of imaginative alertness.
