Happy birthday to us! English Kills Review was launched one year ago. To celebrate, we’re looking back over the last year and reflecting on some of the books and authors we’ve written about. Below is a collection of our favorite quotes from author readings:
“Bourgeois novelists are great at making asses of themselves.”
“As a young woman, you are always the least important person in a conversation or in the room…to be well read and well educated, and to own the body of a young female person is the most powerful tool as a writer.”
Shani Boianjiu, author of The People of Forever Are Not Afraid
WORD Brooklyn, June 25, 2013
“Novelists always write the novel they want to read,”
“Every really great speech is driven by a narrative,”
“There needs to be emotional currency in a sentence. People will react to that.”
