James Patterson Zitate

Deutsche Übersetzung

Es schien mir, als könnte ich kommerzielle Fiktion schreiben. Ich war mir nicht sicher, ob ich das könnte oder ob ich zu diesem Zeitpunkt ernsthafte Fiktion schreiben wollte. Also sagte ich: "Lass mich etwas anderes versuchen" und schrieb ein Rätsel - aber ich wusste nicht viel darüber.

When I read what 'GLOW' was about, it just felt like something where I could make as many faces as I wanted, and it would totally make sense!

I have an upfront, sort of in-the-trenches knowledge of white people's trying to avoid their whiteness and replace it with something else. When I met my wife, we went through the whole race-slash-ethnicity conversation, and she told me she was Italian. Later on, I find out she's a quarter Italian, at best.
