Heroines by Kate Zambreno

5.0

I guess Kate Zambreno's message that we girls should just write (for God's sake!) eventually got through to me, because around page 200 I began writing in the margins of this book. That's something I never do, and once I started, I couldn't stop. I was going to say that I read Heroines at just the right moment in my life, but I realized that while that's true in some ways, I would've skipped over a lot of suffering if I'd read it a couple of years ago. That's the way it goes, I suppose. I'm grateful to have read it now. I feel so free. I feel like I have permission to write anything I want. And maybe I'll even do it.
