Because all I had read were books in which characters were foreign, I had become convinced that books by their very nature had to have foreigners in them and had to be about things with which I could not personally identify.
Olin lukenut vain kirjoja, joissa oli ulkomaalaisia, ja olin vakuuttunut, että kirjoissa luonnostaan piti olla ulkomaalaisia ja niiden piti kertoa asioista, joihin en voinut samaistua.
