Writers Speak For Those Who Are Kept

There Is No Death, Daughter. People Die Only When We Forget Them.

What Is Truer Than Truth? Answer: The Story.

I Was Born In Ancient Times, At The End Of The World, In A Patriarchal Catholic And Conservative Family. No Wonder That By Age Five I Was A Raging Feminist - Although The Term Had Not Reached Chile Yet, So Nobody Knew What The Heck Was Wrong With Me.

One Of The Things That Always Comes Up In My Writing Is The Search For Freedom, Especially In Women. I Always Write About Women Who Are Marginalized, Who Have No Means Or Resources And Somehow Manage To Get Out Of Those Situations With Incredible Strength - And That Is More Important Than Anything.

Wishes And Fears Are Illusions, Dil Bahadur, Not Realities. You Must Practice Detachment.
