Has Serena Williams read or responded to the piece in Citizen in which you champion her? I spoke to my friends! About 25 people, black and white. How many people did you interview in preparation for writing? The book is much more than autobiographical. I find it interesting to look at language itself and think about what language can do They are going to shut things up and there will be repression. I don’t think black people are in denial. Is there a denial of racism among black people? And for readers – for people of colour – they have said they find it cathartic to have moments that they have kept to themselves openly written about. It is language that pulls moments into their reality. Language reveals something that happens so fast. I find it interesting to look at language itself and think about what language can do. Does the subject sometimes feel a burden to write about?įor me, this will sound odd.
