Kiran desai thoughts

I live in a bubble

What makes us hate ourselves? Feel shame for what we do what we are
What makes me keen to stress I am not from India?
What ofdd struggles there are for acceptance for feeling above the rest

Fear that we become what they say we are

Privateness of human condition
Literature has the right to interfere in the affairs of the  state
Should replace
Brodsky acceptance speech. Wow.
Wow
Choose our leaders based on the book they read

Identity that is non reductive
Secret to peace

Opportunities for reinvention

Loneliest makes for happiest stories and reading

Less structured more valuable

Allegiance to flags. What value? Problemitises immigration

're read Edward said
're read inheritance of loss

To belong we must exclude
Problem lies therein
Past is a home to all of us
Journey for home undoes the home

Amitav ghosh  essay on diaspora

Somehow one who has read dickens can't be cruel to a dickens like character

Story can lend meaning to landscape

Books borderless

Time is living me

Italio calvino trees
