“Once upon a time, there was a little boy upon whom his mother and father showered nothing but love, kindness, warmth, all that stuff. He had his own little room in a big house in the middle of a pretty forest. He wanted for nothing: all the toys in the world were his; all the paints, all the books, papers, pens. All the seeds of creativity were implanted in him from an early age and it was writing that became his first love: short stories, fairy tales, little novels … and some of them were good, some of them were very good” (The Pillowman). But one day, in an unnamed police state, the writer was arrested and interrogated about the gruesome content of his stories. Needless to say, he didn’t live happily ever after.
