because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”

My Anne Enright interview: “I am fed up saying I have a problem with authority, and that is why I do not write realism. Naturalistic fiction is a lie – and a dull one at that. This is me changing the narrative from your ‘broken’ to my ‘honest’ or even ‘smart’.”
