- Title
"Implicated by the truth": An Interview with Karen Connelly.
- Authors
Smaro Kamboureli; McGregor, Hannah
- Abstract
Karen Connelly's poetry and prose has dealt extensively with her experience of living abroad and writing about foreign places—notably Thailand, Burma, France, Spain, and Greece. In this interview, she discusses how learning a foreign language offers her a point of entry into a new culture and transforms her sense of self as well as how her books—especially "Touch the Dragon," "One Room in a Castle," "The Lizard Cage," and "Burmese Lessons"—engage with concepts of the foreign and the fraughtness of empathy.
