Author's note: This interview with Fay Zwicky was conducted at Fay's house in Calaremont in 1995. I would not ask Fay the same questions 'now' as I did 'then' - 1995 is indeed a long time ago, as much as 1981 was [] for Fay in 1995!

    'Writing has long been recognised as a way of locating the self. As a concept, this functions in multifaceted ways, from the importance of cultural expression and representation, to philosophical and linguistic conceptualisations of subjectivity in language. Emile Benveniste wrote of the fall into language : 

    'it is in and through language that man constitutes himself as a subject, because language alone establishes the concept of 'ego' in reality, it its reality which is that of the being. '
