Although it may be incorrect, this quote of Powers from The Echo Maker strikes me as an interesting way to conceptualize my daughter’s fixed delusions: “Consciousness works by telling a story, one that is whole, continuous, and stable. When that story breaks, consciousness rewrites it. Each revised draft claims to be the original. And so, when disease or accident interrupts us, we’re often the last to know.”
