Amerikanische Schriftsteller / American Writers Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Amerikanische Schriftsteller / American Writers:

The thing about American writers is that, as a group, they get stuck in the same idea: that we're a continent and the world falls away after us. And it's just nonsense. Sam Shepard

Every time I make American film I just trust American directors and American writers.

Jackie Chan

American writers reduce the length of time devoted to exposition and character development.

Tim Pigott-Smith

I think it's not an accident that you don't have that many Asian American women writers who are breaking out. I don't think it's an accident that you don't have that many Asian American writers, either women or men. I don't think that immigrants are encouraged to become artists. That's very gendered and racialized and ethnicized.

Min Jin Lee

Sixty percent of all Indians live in urban areas, but nobody's writing about them. They're really an underrepresented population, and the ironic thing is very, very few of those we call Native American writers actually grew up on reservations, and yet most of their work is about reservations.

Sherman Alexie

The thing about American writers is that, as a group, they get stuck in the same idea: that we're a continent and the world falls away after us. And it's just nonsense.

Sam Shepard

Most American writers don't get asked their opinion on current affairs, whereas in Europe and England, we still do. There are writers here who are the most sophisticated commentators, but they're not asked. Like Don DeLillo, who sort of forecast most of the modern world before it happened.

Salman Rushdie

The cultural decoding that many American writers require has become an even harder task in the age of globalisation. The experience they describe has grown more private; its essential background, the busy larger world, has receded.

Pankaj Mishra

Some Native American writers enjoy being called Native American writers.

Toni Morrison

I have been definitely influenced more by Latin American writers than by any other type of writer. They are very close in terms of voice - their humor, their fatalism, their... well, that over-used term 'magical realism.' It's a wonderful term that's just been used so much, we don't know what it means anymore.

Jessica Hagedorn

It would not be fair to the critics of Rotary, who include some of the most brilliant of the British and American writers, to charge them with prejudice.

Paul P. Harris

The American middle class's faith in personal comfort as an end in itself is, in essence, a denial of life. And it has been imposed upon American writers and playwrights strongly enough to cut them off from their deeper sources.

Nelson Algren

There's something with the physical size of America... American writers can write about America and it can still feel like a foreign country.

Mark Haddon

Offhand, the only North American writers I can think of who have come from a background of rural poverty and gone on to write about it have been Negroes.

Alden Nowlan

I went to the Alabama public schools at a time when my English teachers, all but one of whom was a woman, taught nothing but the classics. They revered the great British and American writers.

Thomas H. Cook

I'm definitely more influenced by European writers than I am by American writers, there's no doubt about that.

Anne Rice

It's been so long since a talented writer last occupied the White House; no wonder, then, that American writers have been among the most prominent of all the demographic groups claiming a piece of Barack Obama for themselves.

Jonathan Raban

Our great American writers were all newspaper people.

John Gould

American writers ought to stand and live in the margins, and be more dangerous.

Don DeLillo

Fear is the major cargo that American writers must stow away when the writing life calls them into carefully chosen ranks.

Pat Conroy

American writers, at least those of us who are fortunate enough to support ourselves in the field, are by and large a lucky lot.

Bryan Burrough

I like terrific writing, but I also like a terrific story. My favorite books have both, and they're by contemporary, commercial American writers.

Lisa Scottoline

When I went to college, I majored in American literature, which was unusual then. But it meant that I was broadly exposed to nineteenth-century American literature. I became interested in the way that American writers used metaphoric language, starting with Emerson.

Marilynne Robinson

There are dozens of great American writers who write about the family.

William Nicholson
