‘I’m afraid of dying before I complete the books I have in my mind’
Deccan ChronicleFrench writer and translator Marie Darrieussecq, known breaking new frontiers in literature, was recently in Chennai to attend a 'Meet and Greet' programme organised by the Prabha Khaitan Foundation under its 'The Universe Writes' initiative in association with the Alliance Française. On her innovative style of writing, which doesn’t follow specific literary rules I don’t write for an elite group of readers. I have also recently read Anita Desai, Kiran Desai, and Suketu Metah, and have a deep admiration for Vandana Shiva whom I will meet in Chandigarh at an upcoming event. I will probably write a novel, not go on with a diary, because I believe the novel is the form where I’m able to embrace the complexity of life, including the chaos, and put some narration in it through fictitious characters, to be able to reach readers better than directly.
