I'd say it's never a challenge to present white and heteronormative privilege. The hard thing is to write any other way.
Nell Zink
What's important is the tolerance. If people are not beating other people up, or shooting them for being different, then that's progress. Even if the ideas that go through their head are fodder for novelists.

Nell Zink
I really like writing in English, and it's the best job I've ever had.
Nell Zink
