For me, a post-Freudian writer accustomed to dealing with psychological character motivation, it was fascinating to approach the traditional Arthurian material from the modern point of view that Mordred was born innocent, as good-hearted as any kid who ever ran along a seashore or loved to ride a horse. The story as experienced through Mordred's growing pains assumes a whole new perspective. King Arthur, the one who put forty babies in a boat and pushed them out to sea -- he's the good guy? And Mordred, who has never done anything except try to do his best -- he's bad?
How does a lonely, sensitive boy turn into a father-killer? In writing Mordred's story, I found a whole new meaning to the words "self-fulfilling prophecy." And while Mordred's story takes place in Camelot, I was thinking as I wrote of modern teens, assumed guilty, deprived of constitutional rights the moment they enter a school door, discriminated against in ways that no other American has to tolerate -- imagine if the convenience store sign said that only two of your demographic group at a time could enter? I was thinking of young people in general when I dedicated the book "to oddlings everywhere."
