Letters

In relation to an earlier post on letters and letters writing, it is probable that I was thinking of this:

"It is I suppose comprehensible that the letters we receive from a person should be more or less similiar to oneanother and combine to trace an image of the writer sufficiently different from the preson we know to constitute a second personality"

Proust, ROTP, iii, 66.

I found the Kafka excerpt from your earlier post quite poignant. But aren't we as personalities something like a sum total? I don't think of my writing as more than an extension of me, whether this is an economic analysis or a love letter.
