Explanation:
Sorrention says in his essay: "I'm writing this in the first person to emphasize the truth of these statements" and ".. Considering that I have been writing for thirty-two years, my bibliography is fairly short. " These make it evident that he talks by himself and he has to do so in the first person to sound reliable. He is very young and it seems that no one will talk about his works as a writer for the time being. Besides, there is not much to say about himself but just to mention all the books he has written so far. He sounds ironic but reliable.
