"To justify an unorthodox life by writing about it is to re-inscribe the original violation, to re-violate masculine turf."

Previous Quote

I want to believe in a personal god who looks after me and my loved ones and knows every sparrow that falls. But the suffering of one single child, or more likely, millions is evidence against that belief. The one question I want to ask god: how do you explain or justify the suffering of a child?
