Als ich aufs College ging, studierte ich amerikanische Literatur, was damals ungewöhnlich war. Aber es bedeutete, dass ich der amerikanischen Literatur des 19. Jahrhunderts weitgehend ausgesetzt war. Ich interessierte mich für die Art und Weise, wie amerikanische Schriftsteller metaphorische Sprache verwendeten, angefangen mit Emerson.

J. M. G. Le Clezio

A theme that has always interested me is how women express anger, how women express violence. That is very much part of who women are, and it's so unaddressed. A vast amount of literature deals with cycles of violence about men, antiheroes. Women lack that vocabulary.
