Maaza Mengiste quotes

Some of my favorite writers are those who break form. I wanted to see if I could do that under their tutelage. I'm really proud of being able to combine the stories of the Ethiopians and the Italians, to force questions about both of them, about loyalty, about racism, about being subjugated by the very people who should be protecting you. These were the questions I wanted to bring forward. (Maaza Mengiste)
