I LOVE this book, but I keep wanting to prolong it, so I read a little and put it away and read something else, and then I forget to pick it back up again, and now it's due back at the library in a few days, so I'm going to have to finish it soon. It's so good.

"Even then I knew that the language I wrote in was not mine. By mine I don't mean mother language I don't mean English, Hindi, or Malayalam, I mean a writer's language. Language that I used, not language that used me. A language in which I could describe my multilingual world to myself. I knew even then that that language was outside me, not inside me. I knew it would not come to me on its own....

This book is so good!! I'm trying to stretch it out.

OMG. This is so good.
