Omdat ek nét boeke gelees het waarin karakters anders was, was ek oortuig dat boeke vanselfsprekend vreemdelinge moes in hê en oor dinge moes gaan waarmee ek nie kon identifiseer nie.
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.
