Dialogues: Fudging the story(teller)

Q. Did the character have a relationship with the woman? Is the character autobiographical? Why did you use the present tense if the relationship was in the past?
A. I could explain the story in greater detail, but you need to understand that it is not autobiographical; few stories are. It is not my "true confessions" on paper; it stands on its own as a work of fiction. Moreover, I sense in you not a simple curiosity about the story but a desire to pry into my inner motives; and not a simple curiosity about my inner motives but a desire to criticize or to change them.
