Bharati Mukherjee Zitate

There was no audience for my books. The Indians didn't regard me as an Indian and North Americans couldn't conceive of me of a North American writer, not being white and brought up on wheat germ. My fiction got lost.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Es gab kein Publikum für meine Bücher. Die Inder betrachteten mich nicht als Inder und die Nordamerikaner konnten mich nicht als nordamerikanischen Schriftsteller begreifen, da sie nicht weiß und mit Weizenkeimen aufgewachsen waren. Meine Fiktion ist verloren gegangen.

Walt Disney got away with portraying me in the light that they were portraying me in. I have always been a fighter, so... But I have no regrets, man. It's just like God brought me through the drugs, I know he'll bring me through this.

Very difficult to understand American audience, what they like, what they don't like. Some movie I like very much, it doesn't work. Some movie I don't like, it gets big box office. Very difficult.
