"It’s why I am a writer – I don’t say “decided” to be, or “became”. It was not an act of will or even a conscious choice. To avoid the narrow mesh of [my adoptive mother’s] story I had to be able to tell my own."

"Truth for anyone is a very complex thing. For a writer, what you leave out says as much as those things you include. What lies beyond the margin of the text? The photographer frames the shot; writers frame their world."
