Next Thursday, I will be reading an excerpt from my forthcoming book The Other Side of Midnight: Taxi Cab Stories.
For more details, please see: Words in Edgewise.

Reality has always attracted me like a magnet, tortured and hypnotized me, and I wanted to capture it on paper. So I immediately appropriated this genre of actual human voices and confessions, witness evidences and documents. This is how I hear and see the world—as a chorus of individual voices and a collage of everyday details. In this way all my mental and emotional potential is realized to the full. In this way I can be simultaneously a writer, reporter, sociologist, psychologist and preacher. - Svetlana Alexiyevich
