A quote from the novelist Katie Kitamura that reads, “Novels and writing in general feel incredibly important, because it is already clear, in the new Administration, that language is going to be a terrain where a substantial part of this battle is going to be fought: what language people are allowed to use, how language is manipulated or denuded of meaning. I think what writers do or can try to do is to use language with precision and care.”
“When words stop meaning what they’re meant to mean, then we’re in trouble.” In a new interview, the novelist Katie Kitamura talks about why writing is particularly important right now.
