An author can chronologically frame a personal period by a pivotal figure [speculation]
In an effort to impose some kind of order on my doppelganger's behavior during the first two years of the Covid-19 pandemic, I have found it useful to divide the period into two phases: Before Bannon and After Bannon.
SEED: A possible essay angle: using a watershed event or person to personally periodize history (Before X / After X) rather than calendar years.
