It is difficult for me to describe the pleasure I feel when I am writing a novel. It is a physical mental and spiritual pleasure all at the same moment. That is why some people think inspiration is divine. The power of creativity is derived from the pleasure and happiness that invades the whole body, mind and spirit. It has the power to undo the historical separation between the physical, the mental and the spiritual in the human being. It has the power to undo the fragmentation of knowledge, which we inherited from the slave period, and which is maintained until today by academic education and political religious teaching.

Saadawi wrote Woman At Point Zero and it is one of my favorite books. Highly recommend it. I gotta check out more of her stuff.
