Alexandra Fuller Zitate

I grew up in southern Africa but was born in England, so my family was afflicted with the stiff upper lip of the British. When coupled with the violence we saw as children, that can be a fatal combination. Fortunately, I have an outlet for trauma in my writing.

Ich bin im südlichen Afrika aufgewachsen, aber in England geboren. Meine Familie war von der steifen Oberlippe der Briten betroffen. In Verbindung mit der Gewalt, die wir als Kinder gesehen haben, kann dies eine fatale Kombination sein. Zum Glück habe ich in meinem Schreiben ein Verletzungspotenzial.

I'm a third-culture child. It's an interesting concept. Having an American father, a South American mother, born in England, grew up in Hong Kong, went to school in Europe - it makes me a third-culture child, which means you take on the culture of the place where you live. So I'm very adaptable.
