这些故事不是自传性的,但它们以那种方式是个人的。我似乎只知道我学到的东西。可能有些是通过观察,但我感觉我确实知道的是个人的。
The stories are not autobiographical, but they're personal in that way. I seem to know only the things that I've learned. Probably some things through observation, but what I feel I know surely is personal.
世界不是一个愿望实现的工厂。
"Writing is an act of courage, a way to confront the world and our place within it."
