Roxane Gay Zitate

When I was a child, my parents took my brothers and me to Port-au-Prince during the summer so we could get to know the country of our ancestors. Because Haiti is an island, the beach is everywhere. Haitians are particular, even snobby, about beaches.

Als ich ein Kind war, brachten meine Eltern meine Brüder und mich im Sommer nach Port-au-Prince, damit wir das Land unserer Vorfahren kennenlernen konnten. Weil Haiti eine Insel ist, ist der Strand überall. Haitianer sind besonders an Stränden interessiert, auch wenn sie nur ein Hobby sind.

When I was born, my parents - my mother especially - couldn't come to terms with that fact that they had another baby girl. I know these stories in detail because every time a guest visited, or there was a gathering, they repeated this story in front of me that how I was the unwanted child.

I use New York to talk about home, but the ideas in 'Colossus' could be transferred to other cities. The story about Central Park is really about the first day of spring in any park. The Coney Island chapter is really about beaches and summer and heat waves.
