“These are the materials from which political reading and writing acts emerge: not from a tightly woven set of rules, but from a repertoire of references to the present that may contradict each other, but which in any case open up possibilities for new and surprising connections”
“Through writing, I want to explore new horizons and find new points of connection.”
