“This was done for obvious reasons, there were great chasms beneath words, between two or sometimes more languages, that could open up without warning.”

I thought -- I want to go home. I want to be in a place that feels like home. Where that was, I did not know.
— Katie Kitamura, Intimacies: A Novel (Riverhead Books, July 20, 2021))
Writing male characters is not very difficult because there is a vast canon of male characters written by men, for men, for any writer starting out to draw from. Finding the voice of a male character is in so many ways what a Ph.D. in American literature trains you to do. What felt, to me, more challenging was to write female characters, and so I took a little bit of time to get there. Writing female characters is something that holds so much depth and interest for me. It feels almost inexhaustible.

"It was only an anecdote. But it was one example of how the city's veneer of civility was constantly giving way, in places it was barely there at all."
