I think nowadays it doesn't really matter where we are physically located. We create our own culture around us to a large extent, whether it's what we're listening to, what we're watching, what we're reading - it can have very little to do with one's immediate cultural environment. We are in a global culture in that respect. ↗

Although I am basically self taught, I consider Debussy my teacher - the most important elements are colour, light and shadow. ↗

Placing on writers the responsibility to represent a culture is an onerous burden. ↗

A fact is a simple statement that everyone believes. It is innocent, unless found guilty. A hypothesis is a novel suggestion that no one wants to believe. It is guilty, until found effective. ↗
