Quote of the Week...


taking it to the streets...


"I've often envied those writers in the Western world who can peacefully practice their craft and earn a living thereby. What (the authorities here) cannot stand is that a writer should give voice to the voiceless or organize them for action. In short, they do not want literature on the streets!"
