Erica Jong Zitate

Women's books are kind of discriminated against. If a man writes a book about his family stories, people think of it as literature. If it's a woman, she's 'spilling her guts,' and it's not art.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Frauenbücher werden irgendwie diskriminiert. Wenn ein Mann ein Buch über seine Familiengeschichten schreibt, wird dies als Literatur betrachtet. Wenn es eine Frau ist, verschüttet sie sich und es ist keine Kunst.

Decent wages keep people out of homeless shelters. Decent wages allow families to afford books and, I don't know, school fees and things like that.

I'm giving away my family's story. Who owns the family's story? I don't. But you could turn it around and ask, 'Who is to deny me to write my family's story?' I have hurt people, but I don't think in a dangerous way. But you can't tell.

I have many books that I want to write; I'd like to think that I'll be around for another 20 years or so and write another dozen novels, probably some sort of imaginative literature... Never again another seven-volume saga.
