Margaret Atwood Zitate

If I pick up a book with spaceships on the cover, I want spaceships. If I see one with dragons, I want there to be dragons inside the book. Proper labeling. Ethical labeling. I don't want to open up my cornflakes and find that they're full of pebbles... You need to respect the reader enough not to call it something it isn't.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Wenn ich ein Buch mit Raumschiffen auf dem Einband nehme, möchte ich Raumschiffe. Wenn ich einen mit Drachen sehe, möchte ich, dass Drachen im Buch sind. Richtige Kennzeichnung. Ethische Kennzeichnung. Ich möchte meine Cornflakes nicht öffnen und feststellen, dass sie voller Kieselsteine sind ... Sie müssen den Leser genug respektieren, um ihn nicht als etwas zu bezeichnen, das es nicht ist.
