“Only a very specific kind of writer keeps their reader in mind while working. Such writers don't want to irk their readers; they don't want to challenge their readers; they want to produce exactly what their reader expects them to produce. I'm not like that.” WantMindKindChallengesProduceReader Author:Sarnath Banerjee
“I want to make sense of things, to understand the world, but my work is never really instructional. I have no wisdom to impart or give, so I think my dream readers would be people who just use the book as an excuse to get into their own cycle of thoughts. The book is just like a map. It's just a jotting-down of things that you can interpret in your own ways.” PeopleThinkingWorldWayWantGivingBookUseDreamWould BeReaderExcuseMake SenseCyclesMapsImpart Author:Sarnath Banerjee
“As a non-western artist, you have to ask yourself a question fairly early in your life: do I want to become a bridge maker, do I want my culture to be understood by the west? I have no intentions of doing such things. I'm fine being a little strange to a non-western audience. It doesn't bother me if my book doesn't change a generation of American readers.” IfsWantLittlesBookArtistCultureAsksAudienceGenerationsStrangeFineReaderUnderstoodIntentionWestWesternBridgesBotherMakers Author:Sarnath Banerjee
