An Except from "Formication"...

So, when I conduct workshops and am asked that most pertinent question – ‘For whom do you write?’ I say, ‘I write for the language. Writing is never just writing. You are making your stories, the stories of the people you represent, a part of the story of the language – a part of the anfractuous course, of the diachronic journey of the language; it’s like they say in Artificial Intelligence,’ I tell them, ‘they call it “Training the Algorithm” – you have to train the language – make the language recognize new faces, voices, circumstances...’ I know that’s just a load of academic rhubarb, but how should I tell them that everything I write is a private love letter for Arundati?
