I think the mad wives and mistresses are my hysterics - even the fictionalized ones. I want to trace how they were silenced, I want to find for them an escape route.

The concept of "girl-on-girl crime" is perplexing to me, and it happens in many ways. There are those, who refuse to identify with women as a group, preferring the shade of the mythologized men, who want to keep up the status quo.

I am home because I am a writer, but sometimes, when I'm not productive (productivity: the expectations of capitalism), I feel like a terrible housewife, or a sick person.

I have almost never been compared to male writers in any review. All women.

I think the online space can be a free space, in that we are not reliant online on the publishing industry or readers who just don't get it.

I do think that memoirs by women are reviewed differently and considered somewhat outside of the canon.
