I admire this woman so much. Nowadays it’s so rare to see a “complete” writer, someone who not only dedicates his or her entire life to writing, but who ventures in several forms, like the “men of letters” of yesteryear. JCO writes novels, short stories, poems, plays, novellas, essays, criticism, you name it, all infused with her vast, remarkable imagination. You can feel her passion for literature. It’s inspiring.
She's a woman of Conscience. Her pokes at our notion of democracy suggest that she's aware of the illusion. Her jabs at empire landed time and time again.
