Reasons to Write

From Allos Ego, a new magazine in the US and one that seemingly manages the difficult feat of being both cool and compassionate with consummate ease:



Why it took me so long to make the connection between my situation with my mother and the writing of THE DETAINEE, I don’t know. Maybe it was just a given: the elephant not so much in the room, as relaxing on the couch.
