American writer Quote by Torrey Peters
“When you think about fascism and right-wing governments, oftentimes people think about European history, but it's been flaring up on and off all throughout the Americas. There's a history of Latin American writers who know how to respond to this, how to continue making art in it, how to group together and go other places for a while.”
