“What level of connection there is, is just some kind of inevitable consequence of the friendship that we once had,” Hell explains.

“I don’t even know what he does now. I never see him or talk to him, and after my book I’m sure that’s even less likely. But, yes, sure, there’s a connection in the sense that we spent so much time together in a period that was really crucial for me.

“He is just necessarily built into who I am.”
