I’ve assembled this in the truest way I know how. By memory, since nothing else is trustworthy. My letters to Antony are preserved as they were recovered, mildly redacted as I’d expected. Charlotte’s report—her justification—is here in full, although the weirdly formal and stilted language will only feed into rumors that it’s not authentic. As evil as it is, I’ve kept the Colonel’s letter to Antony as it contains the revelation. The Colonel, Antony’s father, his eyes, my God! What can I say here about Psycho Femmes that Antony hasn’t already said? His account (fucked up, but still) of Detroit and what happened there— prompted by an analyst who told him to “tell it like a story”— is also here in full. These have been arranged in roughly the order he wrote them, ending with the account of his imprisonment. Perhaps, after all, telling is not the same as healing, as Antony’s verbal disintegration as he reaches the ground zero of his telling makes painfully clear. Beyond that I can only say that all autobiography relies as much on what’s not said as what is.  At the heart of his story is absence and I’ve refrained mightily from filling in the gaps and from correcting his misperceptions. The instances where I’ve given into temptation and inserted my own version are hardly worth mentioning, although to the sensitive reader I’m sure they’re obvious.
