My favorite thing about New York is the people, because I think they're misunderstood. I don't think people realize how kind New York people are.
To be misunderstood can be the writer's punishment for having disturbed the reader's peace. The greater the disturbance, the greater the possibility of misunderstanding.
Magical realism allows an artist like myself to inject layers of meaning without being obvious. In American culture, where there is freedom of expression, this approach may seem forced, unnecessary and misunderstood. But this system of communication has become very Iranian.

As I grow older, the idea takes increasing hold in me that we've misunderstood our own delicacy and diversity as human beings.
If I turn out to be particularly clear, you've probably misunderstood what I've said.

Does that sound familiar?
The idea that feeling confident and feeling misunderstood are mutually exclusive really bugs me.
