Actually I never really thought of it as a career, since a career suggests evolution and progress, whereas my professional life has been a series of advances and retreats: stagnation and renewals, lulls and surges, doldrums and typhoons. A career could be planned, my life was the result of chance and improvisation. It was plotless.
Humphries (2002)
