Because all I had read were books in which characters were foreign, I had become convinced that books by their very nature had to have foreigners in them and had to be about things with which I could not personally identify.
제가 읽었던 책들은, 전부 주인공들이 외국인이기 때문에 저는 자연스럽게 책이란 것은 당연히 주인공은 외국인이어야 하며 내가 직접 경험하지 못한 것에 관한 내용이어야 한다고 믿게 되었습니다.
