Summary

In this quote, the author explains that they have written their autobiography without concern for the reader's interest or expectations.

They argue that a modest or inhibited autobiography, written without entertaining the writer or arousing suspicion in the reader, lacks authenticity and may not provide a genuine reflection of the author's life.
