'Kurt Vonnegut's novel Cat's Cradle includes a character who is a
professional indexer and believes that "indexing [is] a thing that
only the most amateurish author [undertakes] to do for his own book."
She claims to be able to read an author's character through the index
he created for his own history text, and warns the narrator, an
author, "Never index your own book."' from
