Ulin <\/strong>about\u00a0finding the lyric in nontraditional spaces, reaching as wide an American audience as possible, and having a breakthrough with her collection <em>Citizen<\/em>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It felt like the first time I could actively be involved in a public discussion about race, in a discussion that, to me, is essential to our well-being as a country. It wasn\u2019t simply about publicizing the book, it was about having a conversation. It was also an opportunity for me to learn what others really thought and felt. The responses were various. One man said he was moved by a reading I gave and wanted to do something to help me. I said I personally had a privileged life, which I do, and that I didn\u2019t need his help. What I needed was for him\u2014this was a white gentleman\u2014to understand the urgency of the situation for\u00a0<em>him<\/em>\u00a0and to help himself in an America that was so racially divided. It wasn\u2019t about him coming from his own position of privilege\u2014of white privilege\u2014to take black people on as a burden, but rather to understand that we are all part of the same broken structures. He said, I can take what you\u2019re saying, but you\u2019re going to shut down everybody else in this audience. And all of a sudden I was like, What? I thought you wanted to help me! To remove him from the role of \u201cwhite savior\u201d was to attack him in his own imagination. A white woman, a professor, told me that what I was calling racism was really bias against overweight black women. You might think they were just a defensive man and a crazy professor, but again and again I was coming up against what was being framed as understanding and realizing that it was not that.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_110639\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/alasdair-gray-child.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-110639\" class=\"wp-image-110639\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/alasdair-gray-child.jpg\" width=\"1000\" height=\"830\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/alasdair-gray-child.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/alasdair-gray-child-300x249.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/alasdair-gray-child-768x637.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 62.5em) 67vw, 100vw\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-110639\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gray, left, with his sister, Mora, in Auchterarder, Scotland, ca. 1939.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>And in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/interviews\/6904\/alasdair-gray-the-art-of-fiction-no-232-alasdair-gray\" target=\"_blank\">the\u00a0Art of Fiction\u00a0No. 232, the Scottish novelist\u00a0<strong>Alasdair Gray<\/strong><\/a>, now in his eighties, speaks with <strong>Valerie Stivers <\/strong>about his landmark work\u00a0<em>Lanark: A Life in Four Books<\/em>, published in 1981, which was thirty years in the writing and came in at nearly six hundred pages, including a false prologue, a false epilogue, footnotes, and a partially fictional \u201cindex of plagiarisms\u201d:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I read a book called <em>The English Epic and Its Background<\/em> by a Cambridge don called Tillyard.

After da Gama successfully got to India, after a stretch of immense trouble and hardship, there\u2019s a period in which the Portuguese crew are allowed an erotic indulgence with nymphs, et cetera, et cetera. Things straight out of classical Greek mythology! Tillyard was explaining that a true epic could blend all literary forms into one.
