“Your identity is your own prison.”
There is a popular myth that holds back our creativity: a writer should always remain within the safe bounds of their native language. In response, Lebanese author Etel Adnan writes, Reality is made of paper, so to speak, or is the skin of an egg, an onion to be peeled, till you reach another layer, itself made of layers, with no center, you also reach a mirror mirroring, a sailboat drifting.
Through multilingual writings, we peel those layers, rediscovering language as where linguistic tendencies clash to give shape to the unexpected. At Ars Literica, we believe that Chinese writers have much to offer the entire literary community, vocalizing our eccentric and beautiful presence to inspire social change.
