Interview With Author Rita Kuhn
What
type of books do you write? I recently published my memoir, Broken
Glass Broken Lives, about my childhood and adolescence in Nazi Berlin as a
Jewish girl. I have also written a novel that is waiting for publication.
What
is your newest book about? The
title is Another Ruth and depicts my mother’s conversion to
Judaism and marriage to her Jewish husband in Berlin of the Twenties when
anti-Semitism was on the rise.
What inspired you to
write it? After watching a movie
of Pride and Prejudice, I woke up in the morning and decided I
can write a novel about a family struggling with prejudice.
What is the writing
process like for you? I step out of my
familiar Self and become someone else. I grow another soul that speaks another
language. Words, sentences come to me from far away, like creating a new world,
it seems.
What
did you do before you became an author? I always liked to read and write. Most of my reading and writing
had been academic, until I finished my Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from UC
Berkeley. After that, I started writing my memoir, Broken Glass, Broken
Lives, which was published with the help of Barany Publishing, and which
Amazon distributes.
How
does it feel to be a published author? It engenders a multitude of feelings. Like taking an exam,
giving birth, losing weight, making new friends, cross-examining yourself.
Above all, sleepless nights.
Any
advice for struggling writers? Listen to your inner voice, trust it and follow where it wants
to take you. Don’t think of future readers, only what is alive in you at the
present moment. Use words to create a language all your own, so that you may
always mean what you write.
Where
do you see book publishing heading? With ambivalence. Self-publishing can be a hornet’s nest or
a goldmine. It can be subversive or sublime.
