Henry Rollins 
Solipsist 

I saw the word Solipsist while reading the dictionary in 1993. I was living

in NYC at the time and the word defined how the city made me feel. I worked

on this book in several cities all over the world until 1996. The writing is

obsessive and claustrophobic. To be solipsistic is to totally realize the ego

and the nightmare of utter self-possession. I went for it and it swallowed me whole. – Henry Rollins
