I think it&#39;s a very old and deep-seated double standard that holds that when a man writes about family and feelings, it&#39;s literature with a capital L, but when a woman considers the same topics, it&#39;s romance, or a beach book - in short, it&#39;s something unworthy of a serious critic&#39;s attention.

The difference in men is the standard they set.

I listen to the gunfire we cannot hear, and begin this journey with the light of knowing the root of my own furious love.

I think we should always remember that reading -- the experience of a book -- is a very private, very personal kind of thing. Sometimes the best response to such an experience is: silence.
