MY WRITING PHILOSOPHY
“Literature is the sacred duty of the public intellectual, Turning the conflict of human experience into imagined reality, of saying the unsayable, and of building bridges between the invisible and visible worlds.” I write about the mystery of human experience, to question what we so glibly claim to know in order to find disguised truth.”
