Edwidge Danticat Quotes About Lying

Quotes about: Lying

  Interview with David Barsamian, progressive.org. October 1, 2003.

• Sometimes we mask ourselves to further reveal ourselves, and it's always been connected to me with being a writer: We tell lies to tell a greater truth. The story is a mask; the characters you create are masks. That appeals to me. Aside from that, too, in the carnival the masks were beautiful, and offered a vision of Haitian creativity.
