A real conversation between Cloto and an author:

Cloto asked:
In your daily life in Milan, before leaving, how did you move between your parents and this still-undefined future?
Flavio
I wasn't very happy. I came from many changes of home and school, first Paris, then Italy, the two languages. In Milan I'd done a bit of Italian school and a bit of French school. But I was closed off, didn't talk to anyone, and the psychoanalyst had suggested a boarding school to make friends.
Cloto asked:
If you go back to that day before leaving: where were you, what were you wearing, who was around you, and what did you think you knew about Sophia Antipolis?
Flavio
I was in Milan, in the car. My parents were driving. We were leaving Milan for Sophia Antipolis, near Antibes. At the time I was thinking of the Antilles.

This is an excerpt: the real dialogue is much richer.

Question after question, this chapter came to life:

I was in Milan, in the car, in the back, my head resting against the window while my parents drove. I looked outside at the Po Valley running flat past, the warehouses, the rows of identical trees, and inside I was rather switched off. I came from many changes of home and school, first Paris, then Italy, the two languages tangled in my head and nothing came out. In Milan I'd done a bit of Italian school and a bit of French school, but I was closed off, didn't talk to anyone, and the psychoanalyst had suggested a boarding school where I could make friends. In reality I was mostly thinking about my Amiga500 and video games — the only thing that kept me hooked to anything.

Not a questionnaire.

Cloto doesn't hand you pre-written questions. Every question forms from your previous answer — it slips into the details you named, it stops where the scene is still alive. That's why your chapters are full of your own real words, not answers shaped to a script.

“I built Cloto to get past the blank page. Beneath it lies Socratic maieutics and narratology from Aristotle onward: the right questions draw out what you already know without knowing it yet, and from your answers a story takes shape — a real book, one that gives full meaning to a memory, a life, or pure imagination.”
