More From Emma Donoghue

Within the lesbian community i am black, and within the black community i am a lesbian. any attack against black people is a lesbian and gay issue, because i and thousands of other black women are part of the lesbian community. any attack against lesbians and gays is a black issue, because thousands of lesbians and gay men are black. there is no hierarchy of oppression.

What i see is trying to make sure that everybody thinks you have more than what you actually have. what’s the point if you actually don’t have it? if you don’t have it, then you don’t have it. have what you have. enjoy that . . . the craft is everything. don’t be afraid of not being the wealthiest person in the room. be the smartest person in the room. be the slickest person in the room. be the most creative person in the room. be the most entertaining person in the room. just be in the room.
Thinking Creative Trying
Whether the author intended a symbolic resonance to exist in her book is irrelevant. all that matters is whether it's there. because the book does not exist for the benefit of the author, the book exists for the benefit of you. if we as readers can have a bigger and richer experience with the world as a result of reading a symbol and that symbol wasn't intended by the author, we still win.
Book Reading Winning
You will want a book which contains not man's thoughts, but god's - not a book that may amuse you, but a book that can save you - not even a book that can instruct you, but a book on which you can venture an eternity - not only a book which can give relief to your spirit, but redemption to your soul - a book which contains salvation, and conveys it to you, one which shall at once be the saviour's book and the sinner's.

I still hear people say that i should not be talking about the rights of lesbian and gay people and i should stick to the issue of racial justice. but i hasten to remind them that martin luther king jr. said, 'injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.' i appeal to everyone who believes in martin luther king jr.'s dream to make room at the table of brother- and sisterhood for lesbian and gay people.

To say that an author is a reader or a reader an author, to see a book as a human being or a human being a book, to describe the world as text or a text as the world, are ways of naming the readers craft.

Beneath the gore and smoke and loam, this book is about the evanescence of life, and why some men choose to fill their brief allotment of time engaging the impossible, others in the manufacture of sorrow. in the end it is a story of the ineluctable conflict between good and evil, daylight and darkness, the white city and the black.

A monk should surely love his books with humility, wishing their good and not the glory of his own curiosity; but what the temptation of adultery is for laymen and the yearning for riches is for secular ecclesiastics, the seduction of knowledge is for monks.
Book Humility Temptation
The book, the idea of a book or the image of a book, is a symbol of learning, of transmitting knowledge.. i make my own books to find my way through the old stories.

By the time you write the last page you have done half the book. the other half tends to get done in about five weeks; i do several drafts, very, very furiously rewriting. i literally do more or less nothing else and i stick with it and go through it and i begin to hate it.
