“Writing for me is an act of sacrifice, not denial…I deliberately sacrifice myself in my writing. I leave no part of myself out for that is how much I want readers to connect with me. I want them to wonder about the things that I wonder about, and to think about some of the things that trouble me. What is impersonal writing but a denial of self? … We should…acknowledge the extent to which denial of one’s authority in authorship is not the same as elimination of oneself.”
