Zitat des Tages von Kiran Desai:
I do think that the modern India does belong to writers who are living in India.
The Indian diaspora is a wonderful place to write from, and I am lucky to be part of it.
In India, if you are from the elite, dogs are extremely important. The breed of the dog indicates your wealth, that you are westernized. The cook, another human being, is on a much lower level than your dog. You see this all the time.
When you write on your own, you can write the extremes. No one else is watching and you can really go as far as you need to.
The publishing world is very timid. Readers are much braver.
We think of immigration as a Western issue but, of course, it isn't.
I don't think you can write according to a set of rules and laws; every writer is so different.
