Quotes by Kate Zambreno  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The biographies of the great men see their excesses as signs of their greatness. But Jean Rhys, in her biography, is read as borderline; Anaïs Nin is borderline; Djuna is borderline; etc. etc. Borderline personality disorder being an overwhelmingly gendered diagnosis. I write in Heroines: “The charges of borderline personality disorder are the same charges against girls writing literature, I realize—too emotional, too impulsive, no boundaries.”

“Sometimes she narrates her actions inside her head in third-person. Does that make her a writer or a woman?”

“I think so often, especially if the work is perceived of as being drawn from life, the woman, not her book, is reviewed.”
